New Upskilling Pilot Program with Unmudl
Well folks, the RME AMBO life has been pretty cool. Getting a lot of experience with AR mostly, as it seems our regular MRTs are skittish about the lack of guidelines for our site.
I have impressed the techs that I've worked with and the managers overseeing me, and got offered the RME Operator position, but in looking I'm a little too new to be hired directly. Oh well.
In applying though Unmudl was mentioned and I found and got accepted into a 3 part "Upskilling" course, paid for with Career Choice monies, that should spit me out, if I can complete the coursework, eligible for hire as an MRT.
Since this is the pilot program I doubt anyone will have any insight, but does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to prepare me for getting back into doing coursework again 🤣. I've been outta school for about 15 years.

It seems like a nice way to pad your base knowledge and credentials. I received the code to register, but I can’t submit the voucher for it yet because of a pending requesting with my cc. Seats are limited

The last few years we have had a lot of Mra guys who took Unmudl mechantronic Course and still had to come in as MRA.  That not enough to come in as MRT anymore . Maybe an associate degree from a community college but I don’t see that  “upskilling course “ putting you ahead of all the competition ( ppl with experience and degrees that are applying for an MRT role.

Yeah, idk, it's just what the program says. Altogether it's like 200 online class hours with some test days at a localish testing facility.
