Roane State will offer noncredit course
John Thornton of Clinton graduated from Roane State Community College’s Advanced Materials Training and Education Center (AMTEC) a year ago. Thornton is one of 13 AMTEC trainees interning at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Carbon Fiber Technology Facility. The $35 million plant is a new advanced manufacturing facility designed to reduce the cost of carbon fiber —a critical material for efficient lightweight vehicles, next generation wind turbines, and a wide array of other consumer and industrial products. Through AMTEC and additional programs, Roane State is working with ORNL and area industries to offer the training needed for jobs in composites and other advanced manufacturing fields.
