Hurco North America will open applications for the third class of its apprenticeship program on April 1, 2022. The Field Service Apprenticeship (FSA) is a two-year program that starts with a 12-week immersive introduction to the industry that merges hands-on training and repair of CNC machines with classroom training.
While candidates with a degree or working toward one are encouraged to apply, candidates who are mechanically inclined with no industry or engineering experience are also encouraged to apply for the FSA.
“We believe the FSA will be important to bridge the skills gap and introduce more people to the machine tool industry, which benefits the industry as a whole,” says Cory Miller, general manager for Hurco North America.
Field service engineers will ultimately be ambassadors for Hurco Companies, Inc., working to provide technical support, training and service to CNC machines at customers’ facilities across the country. Continuous training on emerging technologies in CNC controls, robot integration, five-axis machine and multi-spindle lathe installation, repair and applications will also be provided after completion of the apprenticeship.
The FSA program takes place at Hurco’s headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. To apply, please visit Hurco.com/FSA.
