Show Notes
Southern Arizonas advanced manufacturing scene is getting a boost with the opening of a new Flexible Industry Training Lab (FIT Lab) at Pima Community College. The state-of-the-art facility, funded by a $3.2 million grant from the Arizona Commerce Authority, provides students with hands-on experience on real manufacturing equipment. The lab is part of a larger effort to build up the local workforce and attract high-tech businesses to the region, with American Battery Factory planning a battery plant near Tucson. The FIT Labs success lies in its close collaboration with industry partners, who helped shape the courses and tools used, ensuring students are ready for modern job sites. The lab is set to open after spring break, marking a significant step in strengthening Southern Arizonas manufacturing pipeline.
