The Cleveland Chapter of the National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA), along with Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) will host the 36th Annual NTMA/NIMS National Apprentice Contest April 23-26, 2008.
The contest consists of an intense two-day program where competitors are required to produce projects using lathes, mills and surface grinders as well as demonstrating their general knowledge in a written exam. The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) is used as a qualification requirement. Besides prevailing in their local competition, each Regional Champion has to successfully complete the online exam for the NIMS Machining Level I: Measurement, Materials and Safety credential, in order to be eligible for the national contest.
The NTMA/NIMS National Apprentice Contest is held to recognize and reward excellence, to promote workforce development in our industry, and to test the knowledge and hands-on skills of graduating students in the precision tooling and machining industry.
