CNC/Welding Trainee

Organization: An aging workforce, emerging new technologies, and continuing decline of trades in high schools and community colleges will result in an estimated two million unfilled manufacturing jobs in the U.S. over the next ten years. This is a tragedy when so many people struggle to pay the bills, find a living wage job, and support their families in places like Chicago. At Jane Addams Resource Corporation (JARC), we support healthy communities and economies by teaching low-income adults and workers the skills they need to earn a living wage. But we go beyond basic skills training. We also connect job seekers with good jobs in the manufacturing sector, and we foster the life skills that create a path out of poverty

Opportunity:

Students who apply to JARC's Fastrack CNC or Welding program receive comprehensive professional development including hands-on technical training, job readiness preparation, manufacturing facility tours, and personalized job placement assistance. We also provide transportation support and connect participants with additional resources to address immediate needs.

Note: opportunity available to 12th-grade students.
