MFG Your Future: Jan; CNC Operator

From the National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (NCNGM), this video presents a typical day for Jan, a CNC Programmer for Producto Moore in Bridgeport, CN. This career takes skill in computer technology as CNC programmers are expected to be able to "plot out, step-by-step, the way a machine will do its job or making auto, machine or other parts that need to meet extremely exact standards." The video is one of a series from the Center intended to help students and future technicians understand the day-to-day responsibilities and skill needs of different manufacturing careers. They are a helpful addition to any introductory manufacturing classroom or to the recruitment resource arsenal of manufacturing programs at community or technical colleges.
