MACHINE TOOL SHORT-TERM TRAINING CCBC Continuing Education Certificate THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF BALTIMORE COUNTY Winter 2015 Please read the entire description. Details for the next classes are below. Machine tool skills are in high demand. Start your career now. Train to work in entry-level skilled machine tool positions such as manual set-up operator, CNC mill set-up operator, maintenance machinist, or machining quality inspector. Positions could be at machine shops, or at equipment and parts manufacturers such as aerospace and automotive facilities. Industries using production machinery such as pharmaceutical and food / beverage require maintenance machining workers. Completers are in a strong position to apply for entry level employment. Once established, a student may pursue a machinist apprenticeship and / or other advanced training. Machine shops are high technology environments. Today's leading manufacturers use computer-driven equipment in facilities that are no longer filled with dirty air, long hours, and backbreaking work. Today's "machinist" is a well-educated technician on a career path requiring greater technical skills to fit into a versatile cross-trained workforce. Lean methods and environmentally sustainable practices allow manufacturers to compete internationally. Do you have what it takes to work in machining?        Dependability Self-control Ability to follow safety rules Ability to follow directions Cooperation Integrity Persistence       Attention to detail Manual dexterity Mechanical aptitude Mathematical aptitude Ability to stand for long periods of time Ability to lift 35 pounds Job outlook and earning potential The Occupational Information Network, O*NET, is an online database of occupational information sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Labor (www.onetcenter.org). O*NET projects the number of CNC Machine Tool Operator positions (Code 51-4011.00) will increase 14% in Maryland from 2010 to 2020. For Machinists (Code 51-4041.00), median 2011 annual wages in Maryland were $44,700. Machinists earn more with overtime. In the Baltimore area, a skilled, journeyman machinist may potentially command a salary of $70,000. Beyond those numbers, employers are eager for qualified workers to fill jobs as more and more “baby boomers” retire. Length of training Train at CCBC Catonsville four days a week, 8am-3:30pm, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Finish the series in approximately six months. Curriculum Learn both manual and computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool technology with extensive hands-on and computer-based training at the CCBC Catonsville machine lab. The series starts with essential workplace literacy skills in computers, plus work habits / work ethics. Foundational topics of safety, blueprint reading, and trade math follow. The series includes modules in quality, and resume / interview skills. The capstone module is advanced CNC machining center set-up and programming. Students will also be exposed to the FAB Lab with access to digital fabrication technologies: 3D printer, CNC Router, and laser engraver. The courses consist of the modules (subject areas) below. Early in the program, you will take multiple modules each day. For example, in the third week of the series your day will start off with blueprint reading, then industrial math, and then after lunch, manual mill or manual lathe.
