AMTEC National Center for Excellence in Advanced Automotive Manufacturing

汽车制造技术教育合作(AMTEC)是由25所社区大学和21家汽车公司组成的联盟，致力于加强汽车制造劳动力的能力和全球竞争力。该联盟创建并维持一个创新的、反应迅速的、基于标准的劳动力发展系统，以满足汽车行业的技能要求。建立企业/行业合作伙伴关系是为了验证多技能制造和运输技术人员所需的技能和知识，并提供满足汽车制造商、供应商和经销商高度优先需求的技术教育。该中心的影响力通过指导其他正在建立汽车制造和运输技术员课程的大学来增加。该中心及其合作伙伴通过使用DACUM/Delphi流程和使用电子技术，为汽车制造和运输技术员教育创建了一种可移植和可更新的模式。一个受过教育的工人管道是建立在成功招收高中生进入两年制大学项目的模式上的，也是与四年制大学项目相衔接的。通过由四年制大学合作伙伴为两年制大学教师举办的研讨会，将技术研究转移到应用阶段。该中心的评估包括评估其对汽车业、社区大学实践以及学生招生、保留和安置的影响。

The Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC) is a consortium of 25 community colleges and 21 corporate automotive companies working to strengthen the competency and global competitiveness of the automotive manufacturing workforce. The consortium creates and sustains an innovative, responsive and standards-based workforce development system that meets the skill requirements of the auto industry. Business/industry partnerships are created to validate the skills and knowledge required by multi-skilled manufacturing and transportation technicians and to deliver the technical education that meets the high-priority needs of the automotive manufacturers, suppliers and dealers. The impact of the Center is increased through mentoring of other colleges that are establishing automotive manufacturing and transportation technician programs. The Center and its partners create a transportable and updateable model for automotive manufacturing and transportation technician education through the use of a DACUM/Delphi process and the use of electronic technologies. A pipeline of educated workers is built on models that successfully recruit high school students into two-year college programs and also articulate with programs in four-year colleges. Research on technology is transferred to the applied stage through workshops for two-year college faculty provided by four-year college partners. The evaluation of the Center includes assessing its impact on the automotive industry, on community college practice and on student recruitment, retention and placement.
