What happens when a STEM grant drops industrial CNC machines into a high school classroom, and the teacher has never machined a part? In this episode of ASSEMBLY Audible, we share an upskilling story about Jeremy Jennings, who began his journey in manufacturing as a teacher in Texas, whose classroom was grant-funded for an engineering design program. With no prior machining experience, Jeremy became the program's pilot instructor, a move that ultimately reshaped his career. Today, Jeremy is a Technical Content Developer and Trainer at Mastercam, working on the frontlines of workforce development by helping educators across the country make CNC machining more accessible. He reflects on his unconventional path from educator to skilled worker and trainer. Learn how opportunity, access to tools, and purposeful training can close the skills gap.Sponsored By:
