The Manufacturing Skills Initiative (MSI) – a partnership between GCC and the Franklin Hampshire Workforce Board - is recruiting for the next 4-week Foundational Manufacturing skills training which starts in September. That training includes a supported pathway to employment – resume, cover letter, interview skills and job search help – and can also qualify graduates for a next-level hands-on 8-week CNC Operator training in October for those who want to start on the path to becoming a skilled precision machinist.
We have graduated over 180 people from CNC training in the past 7 years with an 85% job placement rate, and only 1 person has had to pay anything toward the cost of the nearly $6,000 training tuition. For those who like computers and like making things, advanced manufacturing can be a rewarding career with lifelong learning opportunities.
