Course Description

Want to work in the aerospace industry, make medical device parts and accessories or design a new golf club?

Gone are the days of the grease-covered, conventional machinist. Today’s machinist must be highly trained with specific skills, working in high-tech manufacturing plants that are clean and innovative. Our nation has a huge shortage of skilled workers. As 77 percent of skilled baby boomers leave the workforce, San Diego County will need to fill thousands of positions over the next 15 years.

To meet this need, we offer a fast-paced, high-level training program. Students will be able to complete this program in 21 weeks (486 hours), with training in shop math, metal properties, reading blueprints, precision measuring, tooling, G&M codes, and manual and CNC machining. In addition, students will receive:

• OSHA-10 certification

• LEAN training

• Industry tours

• Guest speakers

• Multiple projects

• Career Readiness Bootcamp

• Internship opportunities
