What Participants Are Saying About The Program
I had no experience at all with CNC machining.
I can say with confidence that this program truly changed my life and gave me the motivation to pursue an abandoned dream when I thought these opportunities didn’t even exist.
Sanjiv Uthayakumar, Toronto
I was surprised there was such a support network for (the training). I didn’t expect to be supported so well through this training program.
Trainee, Guelph
Our skilled workforce, like many other companies, are in the 40+ age range. We missed an entire generation of skilled people. I feel the program is working out very well. I talked with other companies, and they’re feeling the same way, it’s a really good program.
