Nothing Teaches Like Experience
Read MoreQuality leaders emphasize goals, direction, results, and ongoing evaluation. This encourages instructors to lead by example as they begin each day with high expectations and push students to do their best.
Respect is the alliance that bonds students and faculty. Our instructors, having worked in their industry, demonstrate a passion for their trade. It’s reflected in the students as they take pride in their work and become a part of something greater than themselves. This culture doesn’t happen by accident.
We pride ourselves on a student-to-faculty ratio of 18:1.

Our CNC Machine Tool students are gaining hands-on experience in CNC milling operations - building the skills local machine shops need. From writing G-code to operating CNC machines safely, these future machinists are ready to make an impact.
A big thank you to the 15 volunteers from Webco who spent a day conducting mock interviews with our Industrial Automation students.
These practice sessions help students gain confidence, sharpen their communication skills, and prepare for success in the workforce. We appreciate Webco’s commitment to supporting future talent!
