Participants will also learn how to use quality control instruments, safety and metrology, shop mathematics, blueprint reading, and how to operate mill and lathe machines. The program is 12-16 weeks depending on location and includes 300 hours of in-class instruction and 60 hours of job-readiness instruction.

There is a shortage of CNC operators and there are many job opportunities available upon completion. HAAPE is sponsoring 4 programs at Broward College, Palm Beach State, AMSkills in Tampa, and the Philadelphia Community College / AJ Drexel Institute.

In addition, there are numerous Uniquely Abled Academies at College throughout the Country. Visit the Uniquely Abled Project Academies Page to find the one closest to you.
