Why Advanced Manufacturing?
The manufacturing sector is critical to California’s economy. For every one job created in manufacturing, at least two and a half jobs are created to support this sector. Further, manufacturing firms create regional wealth by producing a product that is exported across the state, nation and/or world. This attracts additional funds to the region — building wealth for businesses, individuals and community. Because of this ripple effect, manufacturing firms have a deeper impact on the state of the economy than most other industries.
Our Programs
Fast Track CNC Machinist Program
This intensive 8-week job training program will prepare you for an entry-level job as a CNC machinist at aerospace, automotive, medical device and other manufacturing companies. CNC Machinists use Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools, such as mills and lathes to produce precision metal parts.
Today’s CNC machinists produce small and large quantities of a diverse array of components, especially components requiring the use of complex operations and great precision. Precision is often measured in thousandths of an inch (0.001 inches). CNC machines follow detailed computer programs created by manufacturing engineers and CNC machinists to control the tool selection, tool speed and tool path needed to produce complex machined components.
Upon graduation from the program, trainees receive Industry-recognized credentials, WorkKeys Test Certification, ToolingU module certificate, CNC job interviews and potential career placement.
