Jamestown Community College's Workforce Development recently held a graduation ceremony for 10 students who successfully completed its Maintenance Technician or Machining/CNC Operator programs. The ceremony took place on August 18th at the Jamestown Manufacturing Technology Institute.
Students enrolled in the Maintenance Technician program completed 292 hours of classroom learning and hands-on training. 212 hours are dedicated to hands-on instruction, giving students the opportunity to complete e-learning modules and gain job-relevant expertise. Those enrolled in the Machining/CNC Operator program follow a similar course schedule with 80 hours and 400 hours, respectively.
The graduates were Paul Burton, Teresa Chevalier, Jon Kamholtz, Robert Lisciandro, Laura Lynch, Sarah MacCrea, Maximilian Miranda, Kevin Peebles, Adam Rogowski, and John Rutsky.
Workforce Development Program Manger Melissa Paduano explains, "Several of our students completed both of these intensive, short-term training programs. Our Maintenance Technician program ended earlier this spring, and when the opportunity to enroll in the Machining/CNC Operator program arose, four students decided to move forward with more training."
The pilot programs will pause until next spring. The time allows for renovations to be completed and a chance to grow the Workforce Development instructor team.
