Properly measure work performed using tape measures, scale rulers, calipers, micrometers, gage blocks, gage pins, height gages, and other digital, analog, and vernier measuring equipment.

As an Apprentice, you will gain hands‑on experience through a full‑time paid job, designed to help individuals from non‑traditional backgrounds acquire the knowledge, tools, and skills necessary for a thriving career in machining. This program offers a pathway to learn and master the operation of lathes, mills, and CNC machines, even if you start with minimal experience. Qualifications
Basic understanding of or willingness to learn the use of geometric principles and calculations. Familiarity with measuring tools and equipment is essential.
