John McMahon at Burlington-Plattsburgh/WCAX-TV reports on a new Registered Apprenticeship Program in Vermont that gets participants right on the manufacturing floor with hands-on work headed to the skies and beyond. McMahon went to Vermont Aerospace Industries in Lyndonville to see how this year’s cohort is building their futures. It may look like other manufacturing shops, but this one sends precision-milled metal to some of the most important industries around the globe. Vermont Aerospace manufactures thousands of parts a year across commercial and military aircraft in the Aerospace Industry. Through a new program partnered with the Labor Department and the Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center, budding Manufacturing Workers have the chance to get out on the floor through the new CNC Operator Milling and Turning Apprenticeship. The program runs an entire year, offering classroom work accompanied by on-the-job training with a mentor. It starts in July.
