For over 20 years, Jared K. has built his career from production, beginning in the sheet metal union and working up to serving as a CAD Technician and then Senior CAD Technician at DMI Companies. Recently, Jared took the next step in his professional development through New Century Careers’ MANUFACTURING 2000 training program.

Encouraged by his supervisor at DMI Companies to explore training opportunities, Jared found NCC’s combination of hands-on learning and CNC programming to be exactly what he needed. He has completed Tooling-U modules, and is now working toward Level 1 NIMS certifications in CNC lathes and mills.

“The hands-on training has been the most valuable part,” Jared shared. “I learn more by doing rather than from a book.” He noted that the training is already giving him a stronger perspective on tolerances and machining processes—skills he knows will have a lasting impact on his career.

Jared credits both DMI Companies and New Century Careers for their support and communication throughout the process. With his expanded skill set, he sees new opportunities for advancement on the horizon. His advice to others considering NCC’s training? “If you have any kind of urge to professionally develop yourself, this is the place to be.”
