Daytona Beach News-Journal – DAYTONA BEACH —  The purpose of the course, according to a flier from the college, is to help students “develop technical skills that can lead to certifications, internships and job interviews” at area manufacturers who have agreed to be partners in the program.

Jayne Fifer, CEO of the VMA, the Ormond Beach-based trade alliance that represents manufacturers throughout the Volusia-Flagler area and surrounding counties, has said in recent interviews that several of her members have been unable to fill available jobs because of a lack of skilled workers.

The classes will be held at Daytona State’s Advanced Technical College at 1770 Technology Blvd. in Daytona Beach.
