LET Work-Study
In 2017, Columbus State Community College was awarded a second National Science Foundation,
Advanced Technological Education focusing on Logistics Engineering Technology. The is new grant will allow Columbus State to enhance the existing career pathway
for logistics engineering technicians with real-world experiential learning and to
provide program graduates with directed employment opportunities in a variety of industries.
The Logistics Engineering Technology Work-Study project will replicate/integrate with
the successful work-study model already in place in Columbus State's manufacturing
programs. The College's NSF ATE Modern Manufacturing Work-Study program is proving to be a highly successful work-study program. In their first year at Columbus
State, students enroll in a summer Advanced Automation Institute and then attend classes
on campus during the academic year. In their second year, students apply what they
have learned, working three days per week at a Central Ohio manufacturing company
while taking courses offered two days at Columbus State. A white paper detailing the development and success of the work-study program has been developed.
Over the next year the project team will expand the proven work-study model to the
growing Central Ohio logistics industry and expand it to include adult underemployed,
incumbent workers and military veterans.
