I thought about becoming a machinist years ago but couldnt find any programs. Apparently the tech schools went south because they decided the equipment was too expensive to turn a profit.
Just do an internet search for "machining" in your area then drive by. I almost guarantee there will be a hiring sign out front.
There is one. Says 1-3 years experience required but I do have experience in a sorta related field.
Most of the online postings will say that. Apply anyways. They are hurting for people. The old reliables are retiring and there aren't enough up and comers in the field.
Just lie to them. Mine as well. They’re not gonna hire you if you tell the truth. What you got to lose?
It doesn't require school at all honestly. You can learn most of what you need to know in like 4 months if someone takes you on as an apprentice. You may need to take some courses in math for calculating tan / cos / sin for a few jobs, but most of that stuff is in lookup tables anyway.
