Information Session Set for Advanced CNC Machining Training Program at MCC

CNC operators who want to gain new industry-wide technical skills and increase their earning potential are invited to learn about free training available for advanced CNC Machining at McHenry County College (MCC). Employed or unemployed CNC operators are welcome to attend an information session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5 in Room B166-167 at MCC. The college is located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.

The orientation will provide information about a non-credit Advanced CNC Machining class for qualified applicants. This 14-week class starts Feb. 12 and is ideal for those who want to improve their automated machining skills at no cost. The class will prepare students for the next level of CNC machining, along with G-code and M-code programming. As part of the program, students will have an opportunity to test for certification in the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) credential.

Eligible students must be 18 and older and have a minimum of one year hands-on CNC machining experience or completion of MCC’s credit course: Introduction to Machining and CNC (IMT 105). Manual machining experience is a plus and current employment is not required.

The Advanced CNC Machining class is part of the F.A.S.T. Initiative Project, which
is funded through a grant awarded to McHenry County College from the U.S.
Department of Labor and is an equal opportunity program.

The information session is free of charge. To register or for more information, contact Cindy Henrickson at (815) 455-8718 or email chenrickson@mchenry.edu.
