CNC Machining Bootcamp
RCBI is part of an effort to restore the prominence of the U.S Manufacturing sector. They are doing this through the ACE (America’s Cutting Edge) a U.S. Department of Defense-funded initiative. They will begin offering a series of CNC Machining Bootcamps open to people of all ages and skill levels. There is no cost to participate in the boot camps. The boot camps will consist of a self-paced online portion which will take about six hours to complete. There is also a one-week, in-person hands-on portion that will be conducted at RCBI’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center. The centers are located in Huntington & Charleston, WV.
Eligibility
The boot camps will be open to anyone that lives, works, or attends school in West Virginia, Ohio, or Kentucky. No prior experience is necessary. Participants will be grouped by experience level to ensure everyone gets the most possible out of the boot camp. Women are strongly encouraged to apply.
To Register for Bootcamp
When filling out the application be sure to put “WV Women Work (WVWW)” in the line that asks for Company, Organization, or school.
Once you are accepted into the boot camp apply to join our PartnerUp Mentoring Program. The program is designed for unemployed or underemployed women that want to explore education and employment opportunities. Women that enroll in the program will be assigned a mentor from our organization that will work with them to create a customized plan that identifies barriers, education goals, and job possibilities while networking and building connections.
