Sponsor the AMETA® Center

Building the Future of Industry—Together

The Wayne H. Bushman Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering Technology, and Apprenticeship (AMETA®) Center is a destination training site for the future of industry in central Wisconsin. Located in the Stevens Point area, the Center brings education, industry, and community together to prepare students and workers for high-demand careers.

Community support makes this possible. By investing in the AMETA Center, donors help strengthen the local workforce, grow area businesses, and create lasting economic impact for our region.

A Community Partnership with Lasting Impact

The AMETA Center addresses workforce shortages while keeping talent local. The facility serves hundreds of students each year through in-demand programs, engagement events, contract training, and continuing education offerings, including:

  • College degree and apprenticeship programs
  • Professional upskilling and industry certifications
  • K–12 career exploration and early college activities
  • Technology demonstrations and business meetings

Adding up all users of the AMETA Center, thousands of people have come through our doors since our fall 2024 grand opening.

"With the skilled worker demand increasing due to retirements and rapid growth in new technology, this conveniently located, state-of-the art training center is critical."

Founder, Pointe Precision, Inc.
