Modern Manufacturing: The TXRX Labs Modern Manufacturing Job Training Program is a 2-day intensive hands-on skills assessment where students are evaluated on their soldering skills, ability to follow instructions, and trainability.
The first day focuses exclusively on basic soldering techniques for thru-hole and surface mount technology components.
The second day focuses on both cable assembly and wire harnessing techniques, as well as crimping for different assortments of wire terminals.
Local manufacturers, many co-located at the East End Maker Hub, are seeking workers with the skills listed above!
We will be testing your abilities to find a match for one of our manufacturing employer partners.
Eligible workers may be a fit for a paid apprenticeship or internship with one of our employer partners.
