Six inmates at the Heritage Trail Correctional Facility recently earned their certificates of completion for the Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) program at the Gene Haas Training and Education Center in Lebanon, Indiana. The program teaches participants the following skill set:
• Practice reading blueprints and precision measurements, and experience using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to direct tool paths.
• Proficiency in Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM) software programs focused on geometry for milling parts.
• Preparation to qualify for credentials from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS), in the areas of Measurement, Materials and Safety, Job Planning, Benchwork and Layout, CNC Milling and CNC Turning.
The program began in 2017 and has assisted numerous individuals with obtaining employment in the field after their release. The program began as a partnership with the Indiana Department of Correction and Vincennes University, in which the Heritage Trail Correctional Facility has continuously participated in since its inception.
