Ridgewater College - Manufacturing Automation Technologies

05/08/2024

We would like to thank everyone for the support of our program over the years. It is a bittersweet finals week as the last students are finishing up the program. Ridgewater may no longer offer the Manufacturing Automation Technologies program, but they still offer other amazing manufacturing related programs including Machine Tool, Welding, Non-Destructive Testing, Drafting, and so many others that will provide you with the expertise to succeed in your career. Thank you again and we'll leave you with a quote from Gandhi, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
