Demand for Workers Is Higher than Supply

Precision Machining

Precision machinists are involved in building everything from automobiles and airplanes to skateboards and spaceships. As one of the top earning careers, Precision Machining is a secure career that requires critical thinking and hands-on expertise.

Students enrolled in Precision Machining learn a wide variety of machining skill from CNC (Computerized Numerical Control Centers) to manual machining on lathes, mills, and grinders. Precision measuring and automotive machining such as cylinder head surfacing and cylinder boring are also taught.

According to the Ohio Department of Education, the demand for qualified precision machinists has exceeded the supply for more than 40 years. Because of this, machinists enjoy a high employment and wage rate. The opportunities for students to participate in early placement and apprenticeship are readily available.
