Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing

Developed and continually reviewed by an advisory group of manufacturers from across the Hudson Valley, this program is designed to help new employees enter the workforce with current skills and training needed to work with the machines, tools, methods, and materials used for shaping and assembling products. Skills are developed in the use of hand and precision tools such as lathes, mill machines, and grinders, as well as bench work, heat treating, computerized numerical control (CNC), and computer-aided drafting (CAD). Students will also learn welding. Additionally, they will each create a design and blueprint for their own house.

Academics & Certifications:

The Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing program is recognized by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification program, allowing graduates to enter the workforce with a nationally recognized NIMS certification in metalworking. Students have the potential to receive certifications from Mastercam and Solidworks.

Welding & Metal Fabrication

Shape your future by enrolling in the Welding and Metal Fabrication program. Students learn to weld metal parts according to work orders, layouts, or blueprints, using braze welding, oxyacetylene welding, gas metal arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, or gas tungsten techniques. Combination welders also perform related tasks such as grinding, drilling, and oxyacetylene flame cutting. Students are trained to plan, layout, and assemble welding projects.
