Career Paths
CNC Machinists and Operators
You will learn how to operate a CNC (computer numerical control) machine. A computer firstly converts a design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD) into numbers, which are like the coordinates of a graph. These coordinates control the movement of a CNC machine's cutter, which cuts, grinds, and drills metal material for product parts. Think of it as 3D manufacturing!

Structural Airframe Assemblers
Structural Aircraft Assemblers are trained workers that help build large commercial jets. Using hand and power tools, these workers assemble, fit, and install the metal components that form the jet’s wings, fuselage sections, flaps, control surfaces, and more.

Since it began, the program has hired:
- 272 young people as CNC operators and machinists;
- 216 as structural airframe assemblers;
- and coordinated placements with 50+ employers in a variety of markets
These programs are managed by our partners CTMA, CMA and OAC, and administered by the OMLC with the support of Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development and Growth (MEDG).
