When Austin left the Marine Corps, he wanted a hands-on career that could support his family. He found it through #WorkshopsForWarriors.

He trained in #CNCmachining, earned national certifications, & started a career in aerospace manufacturing. That job helped his family buy their first home.

Think a fire hose is strong? The Flow Waterjet fires water at 60,000 PSI, about 40 times the pressure of a pressure washer. Machining 2 & Welding 3 students are gaining technical expertise, safety training, & hands-on experience that employers value in #advancedmanufacturing.
