Resources and best practices that have resulted from this partnershipwill be shared widely in order to help others around the country replicate this innovative pathwaythat provides students with a quality education and employers with STEM graduates who areready for the workforce.IntroductionIn the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, colloquially known as the U.P., postsecondary educationalopportunities are somewhat limited. The U.P. is 16,538 square miles, making it larger thanMassachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, and

counterparts.Many industries, including Advanced Manufacturing lack sufficient skilled labor to meet theirlabor needs.This paper presents an innovative program (TRANSFORM) which seeks to address these twoproblems: lack of meaningful employment for BA graduates and the lack of a sufficient numberof graduates with the essential technical skills to fill advanced manufacturing positions.TRANSFORM has been developed to equip BA graduates with skills essential for a financiallystable career in advanced manufacturing. The central research question is how to accomplish thisvision? The paper discusses a project currently funded by NSF that aims to answer this researchquestion.This paper presents the elements of the program: targeted advanced manufacturing positions

excellent way to connect with their targetaudience. We think of Teaching.Technicians.org as a match-maker for faculty development: itconnects seekers to providers in ways that benefit both. The combined approaches of all of these organizations has resulted in a variety ofprofessional development experiences for two-year college educators and administrators. Theseinvestigators continue to review relevant research and assess ongoing professional developmentactivities for interest and impact. It is critical to continue to examine, pilot, and adopt emergingbest practices for two-year college instructor professional development to ensure thattechnological education remains relevant and responsive to the rapidly changing high-techsector.
