The Uniquely Abled Project

Glendale Community College, an AMP SoCal partner, teaches a 13-week CNC Machinist training program for individuals with high-functioning autism, which also includes instruction in job readiness, soft skills, site visits and open laboratory. Program graduates will qualify for entry-level positions such as machinist apprentice, CNC operator and CNC programmer. This unprecedented program was made possible through a collaboration with machine technology educators, specialists in education for those with autism, community organizations, and state and local social service agencies.

For those who qualify, the program cost may be all or partially covered.
