The Vincennes University Right Skills Now-CNC Machining program is designed to prepare Veterans and civilian adult learners to become well-rounded entry level CNC machinists with upward mobility potential. The curriculum is a combination of machining theory and extensive hands-on training. The duration of the training is 15 weeks or approximately 600 hours. College credit is not awarded for this program, rather it is designed as an accelerated program of study around industry recognized NIMS credentials based on skills needed for a career in CNC machining and manufacturing. Depending on the performance of the student in the class, the staff of the VU HTEC will recommend the graduates in one of three entry level categories: 1-CNC Machinist, 2-CNC Setup and Operator, or 3-CNC Operator.
Eligibility: This program is designed for Veteran and Civilian adult learners. Recent high school graduates are first referred to Vincennes University’s two-year Precision Machining Technology program. Entrance requirements include a high school diploma or a GED successful completion of a VU HTEC Mechanical Aptitude test.
