Manufacturing Technologies

Manufacturing Technologies is an adult education program made up of separate tracks, the Basic Machining Program, Computer Numerical Controlled Machining, and Core Skills Training.  Each track is available for interested individuals to enroll within in order to gain additional training for their current job or to refresh skills in order to become more hirable.  They are also available for companies to utilize to train employees and develop their workforce.  Training for these programs is available on OHP's Main Campus in Bellefontaine or at any location having the equipment required.  Customizing the programs to the needs of company is encouraged.  Apprenticeship programs and customized classes are available for all manufacturing needs.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMS:

Basic Machining is a program developed to teach understanding of machines used in manufacturing using computers and hands-on training to gain the knowledge needed to pursue a career in manual machining.  Courses include math & measurement, blueprint reading, computer-based training, Engine Lathe Module I, Manual Milling Machine Module I, and Surface Grinder Module I.  Personal protection equipment such as safety glasses and steel-toed shoes is a requirement.  PRE-REQUISITES: Computer Numerical Controlled Machining (CNC).

Computer Numerical Controlled Machining (CNC) is a pre-requisite before entering the Basic Machining Program.  CNC machines involve the use of machines and computers working together to mass produce parts in shorter run times with more accuracy than manual machines.  Even though these machines run themselves, they need skilled and knowledgeable workers for set-up, operating, and programming.  This program can also be customized for companies and is encouraged.  Courses include Machining Module I and Machining Module II.  Personal protection equipment is also a requirement in CNC.

Core Skills Training is designed to enhance skills that you may already have, or will need, in order to pursue a career in manufacturing or other fields of employment.  Students can learn math, measurement, and blueprint reading.  The program is utilized for pre-employment training or as a refresher for many individuals and local companies.  Classes include math & measurement and blueprint reading and are held on OHP's Main Campus or as a customized class (measuring tools and blueprints provided by the company.)
