WoodGreen and George Brown College have come together to create a training program designed to be inclusive of women, trans and non-binary individuals. The CNC/Precision Machining Program offered at George Brown College is a skills-based employment program that prepares participants for entry-level work in the manufacturing sector.
Launched in partnership with employers committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable work environment, this free program provides financial support to help students pay for transportation, clothing and safety equipment throughout their training. Participants also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures to learn about the experiences and successes of women working in trades.
The program is delivered through in-person and online courses, including:
- 2D Mastercam and Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
- Intermediate CNC
- Metrology
- Introduction to Machining
- Engineering Drawing
- Introduction to Mechanical CAD
Participants complete the CNC/Precision Machining Skills Training alongside WoodGreen’s Employability Skills Training, then apply their knowledge in an 8-week paid job placement.
