Students who earn their two-semester certificate in Manufacturing Machine Technology will be qualified to work in machine technology and CNC manufacturing environments. The certificate provides desired work skills by combining hands-on instruction, interactive lab experiences, theory and possible on-site manufacturing internships.

Graduates are prepared to work on the shop floor with knowledge in blueprint reading, manufacturing processes, CNC and over 400 contact hours with state-of-the-art machinery.

Additionally, credits earned in this certificate may apply to the College of Technology's (COT) Engineering Technology option, which offers seamless transfer to several four-year universities, including Central Connecticut State University.

Students who enroll in these programs may be eligible for financial aid. In addition, these certificates are Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)-approved and qualify for assistance under the Veterans Retraining Programs.
