果冻传媒 has partnered with Watts Water Technologies in Franklin, NH to develop a custom 鈥淐NC Basics鈥 training program for current employees interested in advanced manufacturing. This four-week class was held on-site at the Watts facility, which reduced employee travel and time away from the production floor.

The program, designed by Joseph Smith of 果冻传媒, covers the basics of how to run a CNC machine properly and safely. In addition, this course presented practice in metrology, blueprint reading, and machine tool math.听This pilot ran this summer and proved to be a success, attracting eight employees to the curriculum. From this course, these employees are now eligible to apply for operator positions at Watts.

Smith serves as Department Chair for Electrical & Advanced Manufacturing for 果冻传媒. He is qualified and trained to develop programs in these areas for businesses on-site or at the college. In addition to on-the-job training, Smith is the lead听Advanced Manufacturing听faculty for听Running Start, a听dual enrollment program for high school听students wanting to听get ahead by earning听college credit while still in high school.
