What is ATOMAT?

The ATOMAT (Access to Training Opportunities in Manufacturing and Technology) initiative was developed in response to the growing demand for skilled workers in the manufacturing and technology sectors—two industries that are rapidly evolving due to advancements in automation, logistics, and digital technologies. ATOMAT emphasizes the importance of making high-quality, hands-on training more accessible to individuals from all backgrounds, especially those who may face barriers to traditional education or career pathways. By investing in workforce development, the initiative aims to not only fill immediate job openings but also prepare individuals for long-term career growth in fields that are foundational to the regional and national economy. The ultimate goal is to ensure students are equipped with the real-world skills, certifications, and experience necessary to succeed in competitive, high-demand industries and contribute to a strong, adaptable workforce.

What Does ATOMAT Provide?

The ATOMAT Grant provides financial assistance to eligible students enrolled in approved career and technical-related programs at IVCC. In addition to potential tuition support, students may also benefit from a range of supportive services offered through the college. These services are aimed at helping students overcome barriers and succeed in their education. The ATOMAT initiative is designed to prepare individuals with the skills needed to meet current and future workforce demands in the rapidly evolving fields of manufacturing and technology.
