Career pathways for all types of students include traditional and non-traditional certifications and industry-recognized credentials offered in various areas, such as manual and CNC machining, industrial maintenance, robotics, automation, and additive manufacturing. The ETC houses over $10 million of advanced manufacturing equipment to bring the programs to life. The ETC is owned and operated by Youngstown State University.  It is located in Kohli Hall and is 100% externally funded. Brock & Assoc. Builders, Inc. was selected as the general contractor during the most unprecedented global event of our lifetime, the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Safety, supply chain, and labor issues created challenges, yet we completed the project to the University’s satisfaction. ![DSCN1067](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSCN1067.jpg?height=2000&name=DSCN1067.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Exterior ](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1031.jpg?width=4000&height=2119&name=DSCN1031.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Exterior ](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1033.jpg?width=4000&height=2426&name=DSCN1033.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Exterior ](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1037.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1037.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1041.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1041.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1078.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1078.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1076.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1076.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1069.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1069.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1084.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1084.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1075.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1075.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1090.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1090.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1072.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1072.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1087.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1087.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1070.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1070.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1086.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1086.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1083.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1083.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1088.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1088.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1079.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1079.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1081.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1081.jpg) - ![YSU Excellence Training Center Interior](https://www.itsbrockbuilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Institutional%20Project%20Images/YSU%20Excellence%20Training%20Center/DSCN1085.jpg?width=4000&height=3000&name=DSCN1085.jpg) ### Let’s Build Together  Ready to start your project with a team that prioritizes your goals and brings industry-leading expertise to the table?
