The FAME Program was established with the mission of providing global-best workforce development through strong technical training, integration of manufacturing core competencies, intensive professional practices, and intentional hands-on experience to build the future of the modern manufacturing industry
FAME, or the Federation for Advance Manufacturing Education, is implemented through local employers in partnership with a college partner. FAME programs are a conduit between industry and education, transforming students into essential professionals through hands-on curriculum.
BPCC FAME Program has two locations with several industry partners:
- NWLA FAME Chapter located in Bossier City, La
- Geaux FAME Chapter located in Natchitoches, La
2 year Earn-While-You-Learn Training program:
- 24 hours a week at employer site

FAME Students attend classes at a local community college two days a week (8 hours or more each day) and will work at least 24 hours a week (8 hours or more each day for three days) for a local, sponsoring employer – being paid a competitive wage.
