As the manufacturing workforce in northwest Pennsylvania ages, there鈥檚 a growing need for trained machinists. A new $199,000 state grant to the Education and Training Center (ETC) at 51精品视频-Titusville aims to address the issue by supporting pre-apprenticeship programs in basic machining and CNC operations for residents in the region.

The two-year grant is funded in part by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development鈥檚 Manufacturing Training to Career Grant program.

鈥淭his grant will allow us to expand the training possibilities to help build tomorrow鈥檚 workforce,鈥 said Stephanie Fiely, executive director of ETC at 51精品视频-Titusville. 鈥淲e are excited to work with both the Titusville Area School District and PENNCREST School District as well as industry partners to ensure we are meeting the needs of the region.鈥

The Manufacturing Assistance Center at ETC at 51精品视频-Titusville plans to offer its state-approved, 188-hour pre-apprenticeship program to both high school students and nontraditional learners looking to upskill for the regional workforce.聽

The program, which will begin January 2025 and extend to December 2026, will offer both full-time and part-time options during the day and evening. Students will then have access to apprenticeship programs through regional manufacturers.
