TECHWORKS Invites You!!

Add comment October 20th, 2008

Goodwill Abilities Center and TECHWORKS Training Center are proud to announce that we will be graduating a class of 10 students from our Fast-Track CNC Machine Operator training program this Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 4 pm.  TECHWORKS is located at 185 15th Avenue in Rockford. 

This is a great class of hard working and motivated individuals who will be looking for work in the manufacturing industry upon graduation.  The students have been instructed and passed all exams in shop math, safety procedures, reading precision measuring devices including calipers and micrometers, blueprint reading, and manual mill and lathe operations as well as CNC machine operations. 

 We are very proud of these students and know that they will make excellent employees in our community. 

The graduation is open to manufacturers and potential employers and you will have a chance after the graduation to meet the students and review their resumes to see if you can find your next great employee.  If you are interested in reviewing the students’ information and you can not attend the graduation, please feel free to contact me and I can send you resumes or transcripts and discuss the students with you. 

 We thank you and hope you will be able to attend!
