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 marked VMEC’s 30th anniversary supporting Vermont Manufacturers.  As a way to honor and recognize this milestone, we offered a 70% reduction to our Lean-based “standard” public trainings to 30% of their cost.  As part of our commitment and mission, we are pleased to announce this continued price reduction throughout 2026! Check out below how we can assist you and your team with your company’s learning opportunities.  If you are seeking a training that is not noted, please contact us today.
