Entry-level programmers as well as machinists/tool makers are needed in the college’s service region. The CNC Machining Certificate primarily supports two career ladders;

• An individual with no prior experience in machining or manufacturing, who after the completion of the CNC Machining Certificate, should be able to be employed as an entry level programmer.
• An individual with prior experience using manual machines wishing to upgrade skills.

NVCC’s Engineering Technologies programs prepare graduates to be engineering technicians who are able to respond to the changing demands of Connecticut’s “high tech” industries.
