The program will be set up to provide an entry level education in CNC machining through a 220 -225 hour training course for 8 -12 students (typical class of 10). The course will be similar to classes approved for Work Indiana funding, offered through Ivy Tech Community College and other providers. The training could lead to one to four National Institute for Metal Working Skills (NIMS) certifications. The program will use HAAS CNC machine desktop simulators and two full size machines along with other safety and small tool equipment. Alternate training programs of 75 to 100 hours are also being explored. The shorter duration programs could lead to one or two NIMS certifications. Students will learn print reading, precision measuring, all aspects of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine operation and setup methods, production, in process inspection, and preventive maintenance methods. Local industries will be asked for input on the curriculum so that students leave with skills desired in the marketplace. Adult students will be identified, tested, and referred by Work One Western Indiana using state and federal criteria associated with state and federal job training funding. Work One has experience in testing and sending candidates to CNC training at Ivy Tech's center at the Vigo County Industrial Park in Terre Haute. Prior to admission to the program, candidates must obtain a WorkKeys minimum test score of 3 for in the areas of reading for information, locating information, and applied mathematics. Area 30's adult education program will implement and manage the program. Students are not limited to Putnam County residents. Area 30 has experience in adult education programs including a recently established welding program. In the past year, 20 of 20 students passed the course, and 16 of 20 received their welding certification. Four of the 20 are receiving some extra help for another try at the certification test. Most all of the candidates qualified as low to moderate income under CDBG guidelines. Companies may also request specific training for incumbent employees to help their employees move into higher skilled, higher paying positions. Equipment will also be available to students participating in Area 30's advanced manufacturing program. Funding Primary funding is being pursued through a grant program offered by the Indiana Office of Rural and Community Affairs. Federal Community Development Block Grant dollars will fund the program. Other funds will come from private and local government sources. Operating support will come from student fees. Partnerships Putnam County will be the grant applicant and will be the fiscal agent for the grant funds. The County will also be asked to provide some of the local match. Area 30 Career Center will manage and administer the day to day operations of the training program and will house all of the equipment. Other nearby high schools, adult education programs, and career centers will be asked to help market the training and refer candidates. WorkOne Western Indiana will assist with candidate recruitment, testing, and income certification. WorkOne will also provide training funds for eligible candidates. WorkOne will support the project by providing these services. Local industries will be asked to supply cash match, consumables such as metal, tooling, and technical assistance so that students leave with skills desired by local employers. Companies will be asked to allow for plant tours to see CNC equipment in a production environment. Human resource managers and other staff will be asked to speak to classes about career opportunities, workplace expectations, required skills, and preparation for job interviews. Companies will be asked to consider graduates of the program for employment. The City of Greencastle will be asked to assist with local match.
