BeNext Values:

Students

In the coming years, millions of high-tech manufacturing jobs will need to be filled which gives high school students an incomparable opportunity to enter a high-paying, rewarding career in the industry.

Parents

Our training programs were developed by the manufacturers who know exactly what skills are needed, and we provide direct access to those employers. Your child will exit our program with the experience and resources they need to find a high-paying and fulfilling career.

Schools

TMA’s BeNext is the perfect fit for high schools that don’t have the training facilities needed for students looking for high-tech career pathways. We have developed a cost-effective, flexible program that will meet your unique needs.

Employers

Over the next decade, it is estimated that nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will be needed, with 2 million of the jobs going unfilled due to the skills gap. High school students who are looking into this career path provide companies with a highly educated, skilled prospective employee looking to fill the gap.
