WEBVTT

00:00.200 --> 00:02.311
We are certified by the Department of

00:02.311 --> 00:04.980
Labor from multiple apprentice programs ,

00:04.990 --> 00:07.500
carpentry tool design , tool making ,

00:07.510 --> 00:10.620
electrical maintenance and of course

00:10.630 --> 00:13.710
machining , which is truly the heart of

00:13.710 --> 00:17.140
our operations . Our machinist cannot

00:17.140 --> 00:19.110
only operate tools such as mills ,

00:19.110 --> 00:21.570
grinders and drills , but they must

00:21.570 --> 00:24.370
maintain a well developed attitude With

00:24.370 --> 00:26.740
the ability to create machine setups

00:26.750 --> 00:29.620
programs and utilize precision

00:29.630 --> 00:32.250
measuring instruments and calibration

00:32.250 --> 00:34.960
techniques across a multitude of

00:34.970 --> 00:38.920
varying aged machines . Some old

00:38.930 --> 00:42.530
extremely old , not 160 years old but

00:42.530 --> 00:45.490
pretty close . And some brand new as we

00:45.490 --> 00:48.580
modernize , the program was designed to

00:48.580 --> 00:51.090
develop skilled journeymen who produce

00:51.090 --> 00:54.100
quality products for our military while

00:54.100 --> 00:55.822
gaining knowledge , skills and

00:55.822 --> 00:58.044
attributes required to lead the J . F .

00:58.044 --> 01:00.350
T . C . Into the future . Their

01:00.350 --> 01:03.210
potential extends well beyond the shop

01:03.210 --> 01:05.550
floor as they move on to service

01:05.550 --> 01:08.920
planners , inspectors , team leads

01:08.930 --> 01:12.720
supervisors and more . This past summer

01:12.720 --> 01:14.720
we graduated 10 apprentices and I'm

01:14.720 --> 01:17.890
absolutely thrilled to see these

01:17.900 --> 01:19.980
apprentices graduate from their four

01:19.980 --> 01:22.710
year program and join the hundreds of

01:22.720 --> 01:25.990
journey men before them . Ladies and

01:25.990 --> 01:28.380
gentlemen , as the apprentices graduate

01:28.380 --> 01:31.030
sponsor . It is with great pleasure

01:31.040 --> 01:33.096
that I present to you the graduating

01:33.096 --> 01:35.840
apprentices for the winter of 2023
