Importance to the Country
•Manufacturing Supplies 47% of non-farm employment
- 16% Direct Manufacturing Jobs
- 31% Secondary Jobs Generated by Manufacturing
•A Manufacturing Job creates three to five times
more Secondary Jobs than does a Service Job.
•World Class Production Requires and Follows
World Class Tooling.

Technology Requires Skill
REQUIREMENTS FOR BEING WORLD COMPETITIVE:- QUALITY- COST- DELIVERY
NECESSARY CONDITIONS: PROBLEMS:
- VERY SHORT SUPPLY
- 40% OF COMPANIES CANNOT MODERNIZE EQUIPMENTBECAUSE WORKERS LACK THESKILLS
- SKILLED LABOR
- TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT
- INEFFECTIVE SKILLS AMONG EMPLOYEES HAVE PREVENTED ONE IN FIVE
MANUFACTURERS FROM EXPANDING.*
CONCLUSION: A COMPETITIVE U.S. ECONOMY REQUIRES

Demand for skilled graduates in the machine trades is again soaring. We have received requests for more than 100 graduates in Tool and Die and Machine Tool in the past 8 to 10 months. Graduates in the machine trades are accepting jobs paying $17 to $18 an hour with excellent fringe benefits. Many third semester students are accepting jobs even as they complete coursework. The opportunities are excellent. Classes start every eight weeks.
Contact Manufacturing Technology Campus at 715-874-4604.
“CVTC has always played an important role in providing us with qualified candidates. Right now we have openings for toolmakers starting at $20.00 an hour and machinists starting over $14.00, and we can’t find them fast enough. I see this as a great career opportunity now and into the future.”

Calling All Machinists
“Machine shops……
-it’s a respectable trade and there’s still a lot of money to be made.”
“True machinists don’t think of metal as something hard and unchangeable. They can make anything they want, or replace nearly any part that’s ever been made. I have a lot of respect for those guys. I always will.”
-Jay Leno
