HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE MACHINING APPRENTICESHIPS
Registered apprenticeships are successfully addressing the critical manufacturing skills gap.
Established around industry-wide standards, employers can more quickly build a pipeline of skilled workers, boost retention, reduce recruiting costs and improve productivity.
Combining on-the job training (OJT) with related training instruction (RTI) through Tooling U-SME online classes introduces trainees to critical concepts while providing real-world experience — and a paycheck.
Our Apprenticeship Framework for a CNC Machinist apprenticeship outlines industry-endorsed RTI hours needed to meet the requirements of a competency-based or hybrid apprenticeship program. It provides a predefined CNC machining training curriculum that covers job skills, health and safety, foundations in manufacturing, technical expertise for a CNC machinist, and leading and developing people.
