This document was created for use as a guide for dialogue between community colleges that have Industrial Maintenance Machinist/Mechanic (IMMM) related programs and their industrial partners, to help insure that what colleges are teaching aligns with industry’s hiring needs.  In the development of this document it became clear that arriving at a  “core” curriculum that would meet all of industry’s needs was not possible due to differing needs by industry, and differences of college opinion on how best to meet those needs.  Hence consensus on this document was not sought – rather it should be used as a guide for dialogue with local industry partners to refine curriculum.
