Abstract
Unlike technical graduates such as engineering and science, liberal arts graduates usually encounter difficulty finding jobs in their majors. A good percentage of them becomes under- or unemployed. This paper investigates and discusses an innovative approach to address this problem. We provide these students with an accelerated 12-month certificate in advanced manufacturing to help them apply for manufacturing positions. The paper discusses the design and content of the certificate.
