This is a big deal in the community college world. The school that I work at recently was awarded $12.9 million from the US Dept of Labor to spread its Advanced Manufacturing Program to other community colleges across the state. You can find details in the article here. It's a huge deal and schools around the country are looking to help create the kind of skilled workers that can fill these jobs.
Several area manufacturing plants are paying for their workers to attend school and get the degree to become more skilled in the workplace. If your local community college doesn't offer the program I would ask them why, it is heavily grant funded and a great opportunity to boost enrollment.
