But here in Colorado there are way more opportunities for skilled machinists

than there are people to fill them. And people working in the machining industry

challenge every day, and I'm learning a lot really fast.

that allow working students to keep earning during the day, while learning at night.

It's also affordable, and scholarships can make the already low tuition

even more manageable. So when students leave the program

they don't take a lot a debt with them.

We work with our industry partners to create this program,

and our students train on the same equipment they'll use on the job.

So they're getting real world, hands-on experience
