By 2020, >25% of the regional precision machining
workforce will be at or near retirement age.
This will result in a more than 2,000 precision machining
jobs in need of replacement.
If trend goes uncorrected, the regional demand will
outpace the anticipated pipeline supply by two to one.
CTCs/RACC have the open seat capacity to avert this
shortfall crisis with full enrollment.
