Dream It Do It Nevada is currently seeking qualified applicants for a fast-track training program for CNC Operators.  The Department of Employment, Training, and Rehabilitation (DETR), Western Nevada College (WNC), and Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) have partnered to offer this Right Skills Now program to meet the immediate need for CNC Operators among northern Nevada manufacturers.

 Participants will engage in an intensive 16 week training program where they will receive the critical knowledge and hands-on experience for entry-level employment with local manufacturers.  This “for-credit” program will also include 8 weeks of job training through an internship with local manufacturers.  At the conclusion of the Right Skills Now program, individuals will have earned the National Career Readiness Certificate, four certificates from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, college credit from either Western Nevada College or Truckee Meadows Community College, and work experience with a local manufacturer who has a current demand for skilled CNC Operators.

WHEN:  Right Skills Now will begin first at WNC on February 27, 2012.  This program will take place from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, for sixteen weeks.  TMCC will follow with a Right Skills Now program of its own in May, 2012.  Class times are to be determined in coming weeks.  Paid internships will begin after the first eight weeks of classroom and laboratory training.

WHERE:  WNC – Carson City and TMCC – Edison Way Campus
