Training and Events

Training and learning events enhance performance, innovation, engagement and motivation. Our publicly scheduled events have been designed to boost you or your teams’ skills for a variety of manufacturing-focused opportunities.  Are you looking for specific solutions and tools or would you like to bring VMEC into your company for a service or project tailored for your team or entire company?  VMEC works directly with organizations to develop capability in systems and people and to collaborate on events for the manufacturing community.  Contact Us to bring existing, tailored or new training to you.

2025 marks VMEC’s 30th anniversary supporting Vermont Manufacturers.  Effective January 1 and applicable all year long, we’re reducing the fee of our Lean-based “standard” public training opportunities to 30% of their cost! Or put another way, a 70% discount!  This benefit is just the beginning of what’s to come this year. We’re working on other exciting announcements on how we can celebrate together – Stay tuned!
