Careers
Typical positions available after graduation include:
Machine Operator
After a setter prepares a machine for production, an operator observes the machine and the products it makes. Operators may have to load the machine with materials for production or adjust the machine’s speeds during production. They must periodically inspect the parts a machine produces. If they detect a minor problem, operators may fix it themselves.
Machinist, Maintenance Machinist
Machinists use machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines and grinders to produce precision metal parts. Many machinists must be able to use both manual and CNC machinery. CNC machines control the cutting tool speed and do all necessary cuts to create a part. The machinist determines the cutting path, the speed of the cut and the feed rate by programming instructions into the CNC machine.
Additional opportunities include:
-
Machine Repair Person
-
Production Machinist
-
Set-up Machinist
Transfer Opportunities
After you complete your Entry Level Machining technical diploma at WITC, you can continue on to the Machine Tooling Technics two-year technical diploma with the option to further your education to earn a bachelor's degree and beyond.
