Welcome To Manufacturing Trades
Instructor: Mr. Fred Booth
Program Description
The Manufacturing pathway is designed as a secondary program for preparation to enter the field of metalworking. The Manufacturing program includes an introduction to the basic machining metalworking processes as well as an introduction to the basic welding profession. The purpose of the course is to prepare students to continue study in a postsecondary manufacturing program (Welding or Machine Tool Operation) or to begin work at the entry level in a metal occupation. This curriculum is written to the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification standards.
The NIMS is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that was established in 1995 to help develop industry standards to maintain the United States’ global competitiveness. NIMS sets industry standards and certifies individuals who meet the quality requirements contained in the industry standards. NIMS also accredits training programs and facilities that meet NIMS quality requirements. The NIMS organization and standards are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in the metalworking field.
