In searching for a change in the direction of his career, Brent Lee decided to enroll in Goodwin College’s Quality Management Systems associate degree program. He had already graduated with a bachelor’s degree from a Connecticut state school and has been working as a graphic designer.

Now he is taking advantage of Goodwin’s evening and online class options to pursue his 质量管理体系学位 while working full time in Massachusetts for a distribution company making signs for local businesses. 这样的日程安排可以让李在继续学业的同时还能挣钱。

他决定过渡到制造业，因为这个领域将在未来几年为他提供稳定。 “I’m looking for opportunities locally, and Connecticut has a lot of manufacturing jobs available,” he said.

Lee’s father worked in manufacturing at a fiber optics company. “My dad would bring home samples from work, which I thought was cool,” Lee noted. “I love the TV show called How it’s Made. I’m good with software and I’m a team player, so the 生产计划 spoke to me.”

Lee’s interest in manufacturing was piqued when Vice President Joe Biden visited Goodwin’s campus in 2014 to discuss the importance of maintaining well paying jobs in the United States instead of outsourcing those opportunities to other countries.

“I decided on Quality Management Systems to focus on quality, control, and safety processes, and I can use my transferrable skills from my career in graphic design,” Lee said.

In Goodwin’s Quality Management Systems program, students gain an understanding of manufacturing principles, quality inspection techniques, interpreting engineering blueprints, problem solving, measurement and test, calibration, lean manufacturing, Statistical Process Control, teamwork, and supplier quality control. 他们获得61个大学学分，并有机会获得由制造技能标准委员会（MSSC）颁发的国家认可的便携式证书，即认证生产技术员（CPT）。

As for the classes and educational environment offered at the College, Lee noted, “Goodwin has a great mix of people from different backgrounds. 有些是刚从高中毕业的年轻人； 有些人正在转行； and others are already working in the field and their employers are paying for them to go back to school.”

李认为皇冠app正在为他的终身事业做准备。 “When I graduate, I would like to work for a large manufacturing company where there are opportunities to grow and climb the ladder.”
