Latrobe Technical Education Program Renews NIMS Accreditation
March 1, 2016
The faculty and staff of Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center have officially renewed the national accreditation of the Machine Tool Technology program.
NIMS accreditation is a national benchmark to recognize excellence in metalworking training as based on national industry-written, industry-approved standards.
The Machine Tool Technology Program offers manual and CNC machining training and provides students with the opportunity to earn NIMS certifications, resulting in hundreds of national certifications issued to students to date. Leading by example, Instructor Ken Pedder holds nine NIMS credentials.
Following a rigorous on-site audit by veteran NIMS Evaluator Kurt Heinly, the program received the high scores in the accreditation evaluation categories of:
- Administration Support
- Equipment, Tooling & Measuring Devices
- Facilities
- Instructional Staff
- Program Features
- Program Purpose
- Student Testing Efforts.
Reestablishing this industry award secures accreditation for the next five years.
