We are relaunching our Press Brake Fast Track program in Ravenswood in January! Press Brake uses computerized machining to bend sheets of metal. To operate a Press Brake Machine, you will learn computerized programming like in CNC. And it’s a bit more hands-on like in welding where you’re actually handling the metal. Come to an application session and learn more!
We were a winner in the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation “Show Us Your Story” video contest! “Just Give Your Chance a Chance” features JARC graduate Toncé Jackson and was shown at Weinberg’s Biennial Community Gathering in Baltimore. #manufacturingcareers
