PPTA Program Aims to Elevate Injection Molding Workforce

The American Injection Molding Institute (AIM), Erie, Pennsylvania, held a graduation ceremony for the second class of students to graduate from the Pennsylvania state-registered Plastics Process Technician Apprenticeship at the Manufacturer and Business Association. Currently, two other classes are in progress with another class scheduled to start in the fall of 2022.

Clarion University, the Keystone Community Educational Council (KCEC) and the AIM Institute are providing the education and training for the program with a focus on plastics injection molding.
