HAGERSTOWN, Md. — The Maryland Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Maryland MEP) announced its next Maryland Manufacturing Skills for Success Boot Camp series, a free, five-day program designed to connect motivated individuals with careers in the manufacturing sector. The upcoming boot camp, planned for October 2026 at the Washington County Public Safety Training Center (18350 Public Safety Place, Hagerstown, MD 21740), offers a unique opportunity for both job seekers looking to enter the industry and manufacturers seeking to hire skilled talent throughout Washington County.
To provide more information, Maryland MEP will host a virtual information session on Friday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m. This session will offer prospective candidates and interested employers a detailed overview of the program, its benefits, and how to participate.
The Maryland Manufacturing Skills for Success Boot Camp is an intensive, hands-on training program that equips participants with the foundational knowledge and practical skills required for a successful career in modern manufacturing. The curriculum covers essential topics such as manufacturing principles, safety protocols, and quality control, preparing graduates for immediate employment. Upon completion, Maryland MEP works to connect graduates with partner manufacturing companies in the Washington County region that are actively hiring.
This initiative serves a dual purpose: it provides a no-cost entry point for individuals seeking stable, well-paying careers, and it supplies Maryland manufacturers with a pre-screened, trained, and ready-to-work pool of candidates. The program is part of Maryland MEP’s broader commitment to strengthening the state’s manufacturing industry and ensuring its long-term competitiveness.
Interested candidates and manufacturing employers are encouraged to attend the virtual information session on September 11 to learn more about the October boot camp series. Registration details and additional program information are available on the Maryland MEP website at https://mdmep.org/washington-county-manufacturing-skills-for-success-boot-camp/.
