MCC Economic & Workforce Development Center: Impact Report 2015-17

Precision Tooling and Machining Program Women take their place in precision machining at MCC’s Applied Technologies Center. A Women in Technology Seminar, held at the MCC Applied Technologies Center, introduced women and girls to career opportunities in the advanced manufacturing milieu. This exciting program led Tsion Teklemarim, to graduate from the MCC precision tooling and machining program into a new career in optics.

“I currently work at Optimax Systems, Inc., a great company. I enjoy my job and building my career. I’m very thankful for the training and support I received from MCC.”

We’ve also joined forces with Genesee Valley Educational Partnership to offer credit for an adult education program, hosted at the Mount Morris BOCES campus. Adult students graduating from the program earn MCC college credits that can then be used toward certificate or degree programs.

Impact: This program, and others like it, are moving students like Tsion Teklemarim to pursue careers in technology.
