What is the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Training Program?
The CNC Machining Program prepares students for a high-demand, entry-level position as a CNC machine operator, Machine setup technician, or Quality inspector. CNC operators work in a variety of manufacturing environments and are trained to program, set up, and operate a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, inspect parts, perform production runs, and set up jobs.
WHAT DOES A CNC
OPERATOR DO?
When manufacturing is automated, machine shop tools such as lathes and mills need to be programmed to create parts to the right specifications. That’s where CNC operators and programmers come in. Anything from a part for a kitchen appliance to the engine block for your car was created by a machinist or a CNC operator. As a certified CNC operator, you can work for fabrication companies or in a manufacturing plant.
WHO SHOULD
ENROLL?
This program is for individuals who enjoy solving problems and can make decisions with the information provided, mechanical, and computer skills. Individuals should also be comfortable handling and moving objects and performing general physical activities such as standing, lifting, moving, and walking.
Possible positions in this program include but are not limited to:
