Job Outlook - High placement rate for qualified machinists An accelerated customized Fast Track training program in the tooling and machining industry is now available through the Bloomington campus of Ivy Tech State College.
Great jobs are available in southern Indiana.
Major employers from the region will be invited to participate in this project and interview students who are completing the course. Introduction to Manufacturing is a course based on the National Tooling and Machining Association's standards and materials. This program was developed to meet the severe shortage of qualified applicants to enter the machine trades in southern Indiana. Participants who successfully complete Introduction to Manufacturing should be adequately acquainted with basic shop theory and should be qualified for entry level positions in the tooling and machining industry. The benefit of this Fast Track program is that students will be able to complete this course in less than one year, and will earn a technical certificate upon completion.
