Advanced composites manufacturing (ACM) is used in aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, sporting equipment, health care, and other industries to produce strong, light weight products. Jobs are high tech, involve working in clean environments, and require specific training – training offered at Great Bay Community College. According to Lucintel, a global market research firm, the composites industry is expected to experience substantial growth during 2014-2019, with new developments in some industry sectors. The aerospace sector is expected to see the most growth of all sectors.Carbon fiber composite applications are expected to grow more rapidly than glass fiber – an indication that advanced training is required to fill the need for ACM Technicians.
