Industry & Manufacturing Training   

ACE CNC Machining is a 4-day, hands-on adult workforce course designed for individuals 18+ who want to develop practical CNC milling skills. The course provides hands-on technical training using industry-standard equipment and is designed for beginners as well as individuals looking to strengthen their manufacturing skills.

Classes are held at the Strawberry Plains Campus, beginning at 9:00 AM each day. You will gain practical experience with CNC machine operation, basic setup, measurement, and part production in a supportive learning environment.

Participants will also have the option to pursue a Haas CNC certification.

Grant funding covers the cost for participants, providing access to the full ACE CNC Machining training experience. A $30 deposit is required at registration and will be refunded upon successful completion of the class.

For information about the class or deposit waivers, contact Andy Polnicki at aepolnicki@pstcc.edu.

ACE Metrology is a 1-day, hands-on adult workforce course designed for individuals 18+ who want to develop practical skills in precision measurement and quality inspection. The course provides hands-on technical training using industry-standard measurement tools and is designed for beginners as well as individuals looking to strengthen their manufacturing and quality skills or complement their CNC machining knowledge.

Classes are held at the Strawberry Plains Campus, beginning at 9:00 AM. You will gain practical experience using tools such as calipers and micrometers to inspect parts, evaluate dimensions and tolerances, and understand how measurements are used to determine whether a part meets manufacturing requirements.

The course also introduces measurement uncertainty and proper measurement techniques, helping participants understand how reliable measurements support quality manufacturing and inspection processes.

Grant funding covers the cost for participants, providing access to the full ACE Metrology training experience.

Heighten your team’s awareness for electrical safety and preventing injury by staying up-to-date on industry standards and OSHA requirements. 

What is NFPA 70E?

Compliance with electrical safety regulations requires a collaborative effort of both the employer and employees. NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace establishes safety processes that use policies, procedures, and program controls to reduce the risk associated with the use of electricity to an acceptable level. The processes covered outline how to comply with OSHA’s electrical safety requirements.

Why does your team need NFPA 70E Certification?

• Heighten your team’s awareness for electrical safety and preventing injury
• Stay up-to-date on industry standards and OSHA requirements

What will you get out of the class?

• Safe work practices to protect employees by reducing exposure to major electrical hazards, including shock, electrocution, arc flash and arc blast
• Training on site-specific applications and work practices
• Certification assists in complying with OSHA 1910 Subpart S & OSHA 1926 Subpart K.

SolidWorks CAD Fundamentals
17-Hour Course (8 Weeks)

This hands-on course introduces students to professional 3D CAD modeling using SolidWorks. Designed for beginners, the course develops practical design skills through weekly instruction paired with guided assignments completed between class sessions.

Students will learn core SolidWorks workflows, including sketching, part modeling, assemblies, and basic drawing creation. Each week builds new techniques through instructor demonstrations and structured exercises that reinforce real-world engineering and manufacturing applications. Students will also receive a SolidWorks license for home use to continue practice outside of class.

A required course workbook must be purchased for participation.

This course also prepares students for the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) exam, with the opportunity to take the certification upon completion.

Learning outcomes include:

• Navigate the SolidWorks interface and core design environment
• Create fully defined sketches and parametric 3D models
• Build and manage basic assemblies
• Generate simple engineering drawings from 3D models
• Apply design best practices used in manufacturing and product development
• Build foundational CAD skills for advanced engineering and CNC workflows
