  • Welcome to the future. Manufacturing has come a long way since the assembly lines of old. It still requires an old school gearhead's problem solving skills, but now there's robots, automation, and programming. It's kind of like Legos, except you get paid well, and there's always a need for qualified technicians. Learn how to get started at idefysc.org. #idefysc
