Description

See where your next generation of talent is coming from with a firsthand look at a unique educational partnership in our area! Join the Quad Cities Manufacturing Hub onsite at Moline High School on Oct. 11 where MHS Principal Trista Sanders will give an overview of the school’s CNC machining apprenticeship program and take participants on a special tour of the school’s CNC lab.
 
Moline High School’s CNC machining apprenticeship program is affiliated with Black Hawk College and registered with the US Dept. of Labor. Starting in high school, students do internships with local CNC manufacturers and later take classes at Black Hawk to earn a journeyman's certification. The program’s advisory board includes representatives from area manufacturers Bowe Machine, P&R Manufacturing, RILCO, John Deere Seeding, and Evans Manufacturing.
 
Parking/entry instructions: Participants should arrive through the school’s main entrance off of Avenue of the Cities.  There are two visitor parking lots on the north side of the building; one visitor lot is directly in front of the main doors, and the other is directly in front of the new Bartlett Performing Arts Center west of the main entrance.  Visitors must enter through the main front doors and present a driver's license for entry.  The ID will be scanned through the school’s security database, and each visitor will be issued a visitor's badge. 
 
Those wishing to expedite the badge issuance process may email a scan of their ID to Trista Sanders at [email protected] prior to the meeting to have a visitor’s badge waiting for them upon arrival.
