The War Department celebrates 1000 graduates from its Defense Manufacturing program, enhancing military expertise.
The War Department’s new Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) program is turning out hundreds of skilled graduates to help our military be the strongest and most technologically advanced in the world.
The Department of War (DOW) launched the defense manufacturing program, which lasts for four months, to ensure a plentiful supply of skilled military experts in that field for many years to come. As we know, not enough Americans receive training in many areas that require a very specific skillset, and DOW came up with an effective solution.
Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy Michael Cadenazzi explained in a Jan. 22 press release, “The ATDM project is a key example of the synergy between the DOW, industry, academia, and state and local governments to address the industrial workforce shortages that affect the production and sustainment of our most critical defense systems.”
He added, “The achievement of this graduate milestone supports the Secretary of War’s priority of Rebuilding the Military by delivering the manufacturing expertise that will strengthen our defense industrial base for years to come.
