Quick Solutions at NCI
NCI offers a solution to regional advanced manufacturers in need of quick training, CNC Operator Course. This is an introductory course designed to take students with little to no machining experience and provide them with the hands-on experience needed to turn them into operators capable of setting up, programming, and running CNC machining equipment.

Based on input from local industry partners, the course focuses on the following skills:
