SMTCL, the world’s largest machine tool builder, will be donating machines to a few local high schools in Santa Clarita. The schools that will be receiving the machines are part of a new Career Pathways program called Advanced Technologies. The program will feature a set of courses to introduce and certify students in CAD/CAM programming, 3D printing, and CNC machining.
The first school that will be starting this program in the fall is Saugus High School. On April 14, SMTCL, Precision Programming Services Inc., and West Coast Customs came together to get students excited for what these courses will be offering them.
At lunch, the students were able to see a West Coast Customs car as well as parts made on CNC machines and 3D printed parts. In the evening, students and parents came to hear from speakers from the industry and the school district to learn more about the new program. Guest speakers included SMTCL COO Jerry McCarty, Precision Programming Services Inc., Boston Scientific, College of the Canyons, and Career Technical Education Administrator, Mariane Doyle, Ph.D.
The night was a success with many students signing up and excitement for the opportunity.
“We are very eager to help the school district by providing machines, as well as help students to see how many opportunities there are in the manufacturing industries,” said SMTCL Marketing Specialist Caitlin May.
The largest manufacturer of machine tools in the world, SMTCL-Americas, is offering an added level of convenience and support for Santa Clarita Valley businesses in a variety of industries with their new marketing and training facility in Valencia.
College of Canyons has received an Outstanding Achievement Award by the South Bay Workforce Investment Board for attaining a placement rate of 100 percent of its graduates from the Computer Numerically Controlled Operator Program offered through the CNC Fast Track.
The latest graduates from the College of the Canyons ‘Fast Track’ program prove that with the right training, you can go from being unemployed to launching a new career in just seven weeks.
