Manufacturing technician training in Michigan

26 manufacturing programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

20 schools offer these manufacturing programs, and Michigan has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Assemblers and fabricators build finished products and the parts that go into them. A high school diploma is enough for most jobs, and new workers usually get several months of training on the job; advanced assembly work takes more experience and training, and certifications can help a worker move up.1

In Michigan, 17 of the 26 programs take students without a high school diploma, 5 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 4 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 26 programs here are manufacturing technician certificate or diploma (9 programs), manufacturing (associate degree, 9 programs), quality control and inspection (4 programs), short course or intro to manufacturing (2 programs), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

How to pay for manufacturing training in Michigan

WIOA funding can pay for manufacturing training in Michigan

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for manufacturing training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for manufacturing training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Michigan manufacturing program numbers come from

Which Michigan manufacturing programs are on this list?

These are the manufacturing programs Michigan approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Michigan offers.

How the prices and results of Michigan manufacturing programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
