Precision Machining Career – It’s a Game Changer
American manufacturers will need to fill as many as 4 million high-skill, high-tech, and high-paying jobs over the next decade.
What’s In It For You ?
Great Wages
Entry-level wages for toolmakers and setup machinists—during training—are on par with the wages a business major might earn after a 4- or 5-year bachelor’s degree program. But there are no tuition bills or loans to repay. Precision machining shops offer great benefits as well.
Great Work
Precision parts can be found in vacuum cleaners, garbage disposals, plumbing system and faucets, stoves, furnaces, air conditioners, gas grills and garage door openers.
Some shops produce implants for medical and dental surgeries. The precision machining industry provides challenging, satisfying, technical work.
Great Life
There are not a lot of fields where one can pursue a career and not have to worry about what the future will bring. Sloppy, grimy, dirty—these words no longer describe manufacturing in America. CNC machines, just-in-time production methods, lean manufacturing techniques, along with great housekeeping and state-of-the-art facilities, give a truer picture of American manufacturing today.
