Advanced Manufacturing Projects

In-Shop Projects

FCTS students in Advanced Manufacturing learn while doing. We start with safety principles, followed by basic machine operations, and work our way up to complex products that are fun and interesting. Each student has the opportunity to earn a 10-hour OSHA certificate.

Machine Technology Customer Work

FCTS, as the regional vocational high school of Franklin County, does so more than teach in a lab classroom and simulation environment. You can demonstrate and practice a skill, but there is nothing like using those skills for real, under the direction of your instructor who now acts as your supervisor. Trade programs have large shops filled with the same tools and technologies used by those men and women working in the trades. As a true extension of the classroom, authentic automotive projects are critically important to the learning environment. Occasional projects from municipal and non-profit groups offer hands-on learning to the students. Real-world projects truly provide the students with an opportunity to apply what they have learned. Our students thrive on authentic work!
