I was asked to speak at the local high school on career day and talked about a couple of local
career centers that taught cnc machining, welding etc. and I mentioned years ago a lot of larger
shops offered a journeyman program that when completed you recieved a card that was accepted
everywhere as proof of been through the program and good chance you would be hired before someone else.
Then I was asked what do they have now and I said I'm not sure what they have. So what is availble for people
completing high school courses in machining then vocational college courses? It would seem a good idea to have levels
of expertise like levels 1-10 in turning, milling, welding, etc. which would give that person a change at the better jobs. RD
