Hurco North America An-
nounces New Apprentice-
ship Program
Hurco North America announced the launch of a new apprenticeship program. The Field Service Appren- ticeship (FSA) is a 2-year program that starts with a 12-week industry training that merges hands-on training and re- pair of CNC machines with classroom materials.
Cory Miller, general manager of
Hurco North America, said, “We are
fortunate to have a tenured service and
support team at Hurco. The knowledge
they have amassed is extremely valu-
able and the FSA program will allow
them to transfer that knowledge to the
next generation of service engineers
with intensive training about the ma-
C
chine tool industry, how they are built,
the technology that powers our CNC
machines, how to diagnose issues, and service machines.” CM
While candidates with a degree or
MY
to apply, candidates who are mechani-
cally inclined with no industry or engi- neering experience are also encouraged
K
to apply for the FSA. “We know there are people outside our industry who would excel at a career as a service engineer for machine tools, but might not have been exposed to our industry. We believe the FSA will be important to bridge the skills gap and introduce more people to the machine tool in- dustry, which benefits the industry as a whole,” said Miller.
Field service engineers will provide technical support, training, and service of state-of-the-art CNC machines at customers’ facilities across the coun- try. Continuous training on emerging technologies in CNC controls, robot
integration, 5-axis machine and multi-
spindle lathe installation, repair, and
applications will also be provided long
after completion of the apprenticeship.
