The Power of Collaboration in the 3M MAP Program
The success of the 3M MAP program is rooted in the strength of its partnerships. By collaborating with key stakeholders, including 3M, GPS Education Partners, and Maysville Community & Technical College, we are creating opportunities for students to thrive in the manufacturing industry.
The Role of 3M
As a global leader in manufacturing innovation, 3M plays a pivotal role in the MAP program. Their commitment to education and workforce development is evident in their support for hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for future-focused careers. 3M’s resources and expertise help shape the curriculum and provide students with access to state-of-the-art technology.
GPS Education Partners: Bridging Education and Industry
GPS Education Partners serves as the bridge between education and industry, facilitating meaningful connections that benefit students and communities. By designing and implementing work-based learning programs, GPS Ed ensures that students receive the training and support they need to succeed in the workforce. Their experience in expanding access to high-quality education is a driving force behind the program’s success.
Maysville Community & Technical College: A Hub for Learning
Maysville Community & Technical College provides students with the tools and resources necessary to excel in manufacturing and mechatronics. Through collaboration with 3M and GPS Ed, the college offers innovative programs that integrate DEIA strategies and focus on skill development. This partnership creates a supportive environment where students can explore their interests and pursue their career goals.
