Free CNC machining training offered
Northampton Community and Lehigh Carbon Community Colleges, in partnership with PA CareerLink, will offer CNC Machining training through a Strategic Innovation Fund grant provided by Workforce Board Lehigh Valley and the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Machining is a high priority occupation providing excellent jobs and career opportunities in the Lehigh Valley. This training is free to those who qualify.
The training, which is held three days per week for 16 weeks, will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. at locations in Lehigh and Northampton counties. People who complete the program will be well-trained for entry-level positions in manufacturing.
Training will be conducted at two technical high schools: Lehigh Career and Technical Institute in Schnecksville and Career Institute of Technology in Easton.
The LCCC course starts Tuesday at LCTI, and the NCC course at CIT begins Sept. 11.
