What People are Saying About the Program

Duncan Harris stands with student in manufacturing lab

"I took a flight the other day, and I was telling my daughter, she asked me what I do every day. I tell her, ‘I help make engines for airplanes,’ She looks at me, and she says, ‘Daddy, are you going to tell the pilot that you can help make the plane?'"

–Joseph Chester, Student

"You start from zero, you see the part be made. It is 100% hands-on."

–Justin Santiago, Student

"The students who come through our five-week training program are able to hit the ground running. There’s probably no better industry right now than then manufacturing."
