History

In today's job market, skilled machine programmers and operators are essential for efficient and profitable operations. Experience does not necessarily equal knowledge. The world of machine tools and machining is ever changing. Employees must continually be given the opportunity to grow. Providing the necessary educational opportunities will not only benefit the employee in his or her personal growth but also help the company retain personnel.

Comprehensive CNC is an apprenticeship program that will provide employees with
the necessary skills to perform specific job functions. The program comprises
four courses and covers shop math, cutting speeds, ANSI tooling and inserts, blueprint reading, geometric tolerancing, metric conversion, offsets, lathe & mill program format and trigonometry.
Core Competency Tests a series of skill tests designed to determine the employee's skill level. Skill tests can also be administered to potential new employees. Testing applicants helps to obtain an honest skill profile of the candidate. Testing will also allow management to pinpoint individuals that have the greatest potential.
Classes are flexible and can be conducted at CMA's Rose Training center or
at the customer's facility. Each course is taught over a six-week period (two
days per week, two hours per day). Combining first and second shift into one
class allows for more employees to be trained in the six-week class schedule.
