Vincennes Students Get Ahead of the Skills Gap with the Hurco Control

This past Wednesday team members from Hurco went down to Vincennes, Indiana, to visit with students from the Advanced CNC Machining and Programming at Vincennes University to shoot a new video discussing their time in the program and how the Hurco Control has helped them bridge the gap that many companies need with skilled workers (the video will be released later).

Students in this summer course are taught over a 14-week time period. Throughout the course they learn to program, machine, and inspect complex 2, 3, 4, and 5-axis parts. The class is designed to make use of high-speed machining, for companies specializing in die making, mold making, aerospace, medical, and other industries.

During our visit, we were able to talk to a few students and get their thoughts on the Hurco Control as well as see some of the parts they made during their time in the course.
