Short Course Catalog

The MAGMA Short Course Catalog features industry-vetted workforce training organized by training focus area. MAGMA industry partners identified short-course training programs by surveying OEMs and suppliers and interviewing industry HR and technical training directors. Course categories, or training areas, were identified in seven key focus areas; click the filter to view by category. Course offerings were further vetted by industry partners for relevant interest, instruction, and outcomes. 

Course delivery can take place at the educator’s site, the employer’s site, or a third-party location, on a mutually agreeable time frame.
