The precision machining industry is one the most exciting and technologically advanced fields to get involved in. Computerized numerically controlled (CNC) machining, laser and water jet technology, wire EDM, CAD and CAM design and manufacturing programs are examples of cutting edge technology.

MCC offers these program options:

• Precision Tooling - Certificate Program
• Precision Machining - A.A.S. Degree
• Precision Machining - Optical Fabrication - Certificate Program  
• Apprentice Training: Machine Trades - A.A.S. Degree

The Precision Tooling and Machining Program hosts informational meetings on the program each month outlining program requirements, employment opportunities and a tour of the facilities. Prospective students are encouraged to attend one of these meetings or schedule an appointment with the Program Coordinator. The Financial Aid Office will help students apply for grants and loans. This process may take up to six weeks and students are encouraged to plan accordingly.

Job Placement

Part of MCC's mission is to assist students with the transition into the workforce. We work with over 200 area employers to assist students with employment after completion of the program.

Many of our graduates are employed with companies such as MWI Inc., B&B Precision Machining, Car Engineering & Manufacturing, Gillette Machine, Gleason, Kodak, Nationwide, Parlec, Peko, PGM, Southco, Trident, etc.

All Tooling and Machining courses have been approved by the New York State Apprenticeship Council and Federal Department of Labor as technical-related instruction for students enrolled in the local tooling and machining apprenticeship programs. This program is also recognized by members of the Rochester Tooling and Machining Association (RTMA) and other area manufacturers as technical related and continued education instruction.

These programs are offered in partnership with the Rochester Chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association (RTMA).
