FREEPORT, PA – Oberg Industries, a full-service contract manufacturer of precision metal components and assemblies, was awarded approval from the State of Pennsylvania for six new Apprenticeship Training Programs. These include two CNC programs for operators and setup programmers in each of the following areas: turning, milling, and mill/turn. All Apprentice Programs at Oberg are competency-based.

There is no cost to the student. The company provides the materials, training, knowledge, facilities, and equipment so that each apprentice can be successful and receive a Journey-worker certificate and NIMS (National Institute of Metalworking Skills) credentials in a specific skilled area of work providing they complete the program requirements.

For over 63 years, Oberg’s Training Programs have successfully developed and equipped hundreds of employees with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the metalworking job market of their day and the growing industries of tomorrow.
