United Grinding Offers Four-Year Apprenticeship Program

United Grinding North America has announced the launch of its new four-year apprenticeship program. The program enables individuals to earn a full scholarship for an associate degree in automation and control technology with robotics AMCT.S.AAS (mechatronics) from Sinclair Community College, while gaining hands-on experience.

According to the company, the new apprenticeship program is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical application in the field of automation and control technology. By offering a comprehensive curriculum and immersive learning experience, the program is designed to equip apprentices with the skills and knowledge required to excel in precision machines for grinding, eroding, lasering, measuring, additive manufacturing and combination machinery. The program offers numerous benefits to participants, including a full scholarship, a competitive salary and a benefits package.

During the four-year program, apprentices will split their time between attending classes and actively participating in a hands-on learning program at United Grinding North America’s facility. This hybrid approach ensures that apprentices gain practical experience working with cutting-edge machinery while also receiving a comprehensive academic foundation.

Markus Stolmar, president and CEO of United Grinding North America, says, “As a company committed to technological innovation and fostering talent, we recognize the importance of investing in the future workforce. This program not only provides an excellent educational foundation but also offers apprentices the chance to earn a competitive salary and benefits while they learn.”

“We believe in the power of apprenticeships to cultivate skilled professionals who can contribute to our industry’s growth,” Andreas Brockmann, apprenticeship coordinator at United Grinding North America, says. “Through this program, apprentices will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced mentors, engage in real-world projects and develop a deep understanding of our cutting-edge technologies.”
