The Robert C. Byrd Institute (RCBI) of Marshall University revealed plans to grow U.S. manufacturing by offering free training for individuals in Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
Residents who are high school-age and older in the tri-state region will receive complimentary training in computerized machining and machine tool training. Experience is not required. Similar training locations are based at Texas A&M University, the University of Tennessee, and North Carolina AT&T State University. The service features online instruction and optional hands-on machine training delivered by RCBI-trained instructors at an RCBI Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center.
Additionally, RCBI said it would buy CNC machining equipment for its training centers in South Charleston and Huntington, West Virginia.
“Participants will engage in boot camps for all skill levels,” RCBI Deputy Director Derek Scarbro said. Scarbro also said that for many machinists, this program will be an advanced introduction to computer-controlled machines as well as explore advanced techniques.
RCBI also announced it would expand a joint initiative with the Department of Defense and Department of Energy to bolster the machine tool industry. The Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation partnered with RCBI to expand the initiative.
