ECC, working together with the Machining/Manufacturing Alliance, will prepare students for an industry experiencing a severe shortage of skilled CNC machinists.ĮCC will work together with the Machining/Manufacturing Alliance to bring employment opportunities and successful students together.

The college recognizes that the strength of any program is dependent upon the demand and support of local business, thus the creation of the Alliance. This will be extremely effective for those students in search of a short-term program that will allow them to return to work quickly.

The design of this program will enable a student to be qualified to do entry-level machining work after completing just two semesters. Graduates can continue their education in industrial technology, engineering or business programs leading to jobs in management. Students are prepared for employment in both large manufacturing corporations and small precision machining companies. Upon completion of this program students will be able to enter or advance in such fields as mold making, model making, die making, machine repair and computer numerical control (CNC) machining. Its purpose is to provide the academic course work, hands-on skills and advanced manufacturing processes required by business.

The CNC Precision Machining Certificate Program is designed to prepare students for employment in the precision metal working industry.
