Program Overview
Becoming a precision machinist is a great fit for people who enjoy technology but also like to create and build things with their hands.
It’s a position where you can feel a real sense of accomplishment and often see a project through from prototype to the finished product.
Athens Technical College has great instructors and a modern well-equipped high-tech work space.
Nearly all of the technology classes in this program are lab based, where the students work in our modern high-tech workspace. Classes go on regular field trips to industry and visit state of the art manufacturing or research and development machine shops. Local and internationally paid apprenticeship and internship opportunities are available.
