Modernized Talent Center
The Modernized Talent Center (MTC), powered by AMIIC, is a not-for-profit community resource provider located in North Alabama, the heart of research and development for the nation’s defense and aerospace sectors. The MTC collaborates with the Department of Defense (DoD), and its academic and industry partners, to fill urgent and future job skills gaps in support of defense digital transformation. This is accomplished by leveraging a national network of workforce development resources, including federal and state government, DoD, industry alliance partners, academia, and innovative small businesses.
The vision of the MTC is to reduce the gap in U.S.based human capital by leveraging
existing programs to:
1) expose and educate current and future workforce, including underrepresented groups, to advanced manufacturing technology, enabling the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) to hire a highly qualified workforce.
2) develop and enhance the necessary skills of the current and future workforce, including underrepresented groups, so that the DIB can retain technical knowledge and expertise.
The MTC provides world-class talent development solutions in the following areas.
We provide quarterly networking events that feature subject matter experts in the talent development field. The target audience for this network is anyone responsible for overseeing people development and budgets such as Human Resources Executives, Chief Financial Officers, Talent Managers, and Corporate Trainers.
The online course catalog offers a sample of more than 60 virtual or in-person courses on topics such as additive manufacturing, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and design for manufacturing. Additional courses can be customized for niche technologies, onboarding, upskilling, and unique skills. Download Course Catalog
