Jackson just cut the ribbon on something big.

Yesterday, we joined The Shop Rat Foundation, JAMA, and the Jackson community to celebrate the grand opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Center, a dedicated space for hands-on training in CNC machining, welding, robotics, automation, and more.

With over 250 manufacturers in Jackson County, equipping the local workforce with the skills they need isn't optional, it's essential to this community's future. The AMTC is exactly the kind of infrastructure that makes that possible.
Lean Rocket Lab is proud to be part of it.

We're running an incubation space inside the Hurst Navigation Tower, purpose-built for advanced manufacturing and physical product startups. This is where early-stage founders can build, test, and demo their solutions alongside the very manufacturers and workforce they're building for.

The AMTC isn't just a training center. It's a pipeline, connecting students to careers, startups to industry, and Jackson to the future of manufacturing.

Big congratulations to Kelly Kofflin and the Shop Rat Foundation, JAMA President Olivia Steele, and every partner and community member who made this happen. This has been two years in the making, and it shows.

We're just getting started.

A new Advanced Manufacturing Training Center in Jackson is equipping youth and adults with essential skills for careers in the local skilled trades. READ MORE ⬇️
