Are you ready to launch a high-tech career in manufacturing? In this competency-based program, your progression is defined by your ability to demonstrate precision and technical proficiency in our state-of-the-art CNC lab. Rather than following a fixed seat-time schedule, you will advance as you master industry benchmarks through a blend of targeted theory and hands-on training. You’ll begin by learning to use basic measuring tools and then progress to reading and interpreting manufacturing-part blueprints. You will learn how to safely and efficiently operate CNC mills and lathes, set tool and fixture offsets and use verified programs to build part projects on CNC machines. This program prepares you for immediate employment or continuation in our advanced CNC diploma program.
