“This program is open to all - there are no prerequisites to enter the entry-level training,” Beavers said. “This training is designed to prepare and pathway individuals into a manufacturing certificate or degree program, to prepare individuals to enter the workforce pipeline or both.”
The training includes an overview of the manufacturing process, including machine tools operations, CNC setup and operation, and setup and operation of manual metal lathe, mill, drill press and band saw for completion of lathe and milling projects, the release said.
This program is also pre-approved and eligible for manufacturing partners to get TechCred reimbursement funding, Beavers said.
