Are you following a specific curriculum? Which one? Do you like it?

What level of machining proficiency would your average student be upon graduation?

Can you talk about any cool projects that a student has done?

Can you give us any success stories from your students? Thanks!

This is really cool. I work on the industry side of things in California and am involved with hiring and training new craftspeople. We’ve hired some straight from high school, but most have some vocational college studies.

We recruit mostly mechanical maintenance technicians, but also a few machinists. Our biggest problem for machinists is the lack of manual machining skill. We don’t have any CNC machines, and some jobs can be very difficult.
