LEARN THE LATEST MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES
AND GET PAID WHILE DOING IT
The average machinist salary is higher than the average salary for four-year college graduates
If earning a high salary is on your list for selecting occupational opportunities, you need to look at machine tool technology. Over 50 percent of all machinists in America today will retire in the next 10 to 15 years. Tremendous opportunity awaits the trained and well-qualified machinist. Our training includes classroom & hands-on shop instruction!
CNC MACHINING
Students will learn the fundamentals of machining and tooling necessary to begin a career in manufacturing.
TURNING
Machinists will be able to improve their skill sets to become more marketable in a competitive industry.
PROGRAMMING
You will use cutting edge software and simulators enabling you to design and produce parts for any production job.
THE PCMI MISSION
To prepare students for employment as entry level CNC Machinists. The training program will focus on developing skills in the safe operation of machine tools such as lathes, mills, grinders, drill presses with an emphasis on CNC mills and CNC lathes. Overall quality techniques will be covered as well as proficient use of precision measuring tools and interpreting industrial drawings. The program includes both classroom training and hands-on training in machine shop skills.
