America's Cutting Edge (ACE)

Training for the CNC machinery is offered via the ACE Program (America’s Cutting Edge). This free program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy as a means to grow the defense industrial base required workforce – specifically in precision machining. ACE is a roughly 40-hour course with 8 hours of self-paced online introduction and 32 hours of in-class and on-machine learning. Completion of the ACE Program will not make one a master machinist, but it will introduce the fundamentals of CNC machining and highlight the career opportunities in this vial sector.
