The document discusses the Colorado Helps Advanced Manufacturing Program (CHAMP), which works with colleges across Colorado to develop training programs to address the shortage of skilled manufacturing workers in the state. CHAMP focuses on machining, welding, engineering graphics, and electro-mechanical engineering programs. From 2013-2017, CHAMP served over 1,700 people, provided over 1,500 credentials, and helped over 800 people find new jobs or salary increases. CHAMP achieves these outcomes through curriculum development with employer input, student recruitment and support services, accelerated learning options, and helping students find internships and jobs.
