Pelahatchie, MS- June 16, 2017
Multicraft International will open Multicraft Innovation Academy on the campus of Pelahatchie High School in August 2017.
Multicraft International, a full-service manufacturer supplying word class electronic and electromechanical components, announces the opening of Multicraft Innovation Academy. Multicraft is working alongside Dr. Bryan Marshall, the principal of Pelahatchie High School, to enhance the education and training of Pelahatchie High School students interested in a technical field. The Academy, funded by the Rankin County School district, will provide a 2 year manufacturing course curriculum which will lead to an Industrial Maintenance Technology Certificate. This program, free to students, will also count as college credit for students who want to pursue a 2 or 4 year degree.
Through the two-year course study, Multicraft will sponsor paid internships during the students’ senior year along with a work study program during the summer before their senior year. The two-year program will focus on courses such as safety requirements, quality, blueprint reading, gage measuring, precision machining, software simulations, and an understanding of CAD software. Multicraft will also sponsor hands-on training with equipment not offered on the Pelahatchie High School campus like fork lift training.
