T-SEC’s CMM is currently on loan to Fala Technologies, a premier Hudson Valley manufacturer. Fala uses our CMM in several instructional courses offered in coordination with Ulster Community College. Fala Technologies also uses the machine in a pioneering apprenticeship program.

Training

T-SEC understands economic growth depends on increased production, increased efficiency, and the desire for innovation;  however, without a properly trained workforce, growth is limited.

 

As the Hudson Valley’s innovation partner, T-SEC supports workforce training by funding the purchase of high-tech equipment and deploying it to our partners. Our partners are in the academic and manufacturing sectors as well as economic development agencies. Together with our partners, we make training programs available to students, entrepreneurs, veterans, and those returning to the workforce.

Kelly Lyndgaard

Kelly worked at IBM and enjoyed a successful career and track to the C-suite, but a moving testimony at her church prompted her to leave all that. She started her nonprofit, Unshattered, which aids women with opioid addiction.
