Gene Haas Foundation Awards $15K to 澳门开奖直播's Precision Machining Program
澳门开奖直播 Community College received $15,000 from the Gene Haas Foundation on Monday, Oct. 30, to fund scholarships as well as pay for students to enter and travel to skills competitions such as SkillsUSA in manufacturing and machining.
鈥淲e appreciate the continued support and generosity of the Gene Haas Foundation,鈥� said Kirby Taylor, Precision Machining and Automation Technology program chair. 鈥淲e want the No. 1 priority of our students to be learning a skill, not figuring out how to pay for it. This helps offset the financial burden our students feel with the cost of school and entering skills competitions.鈥�
Since 2015, the Precision Machining and Automation Technology program at 澳门开奖直播 has received annual grants totaling $102,000 from the Gene Haas Foundation. The Foundation鈥檚 primary goal is to build skills in the manufacturing industry by providing scholarships for Computer Numeric Control technology students. Haas is the owner of Haas Automation Inc., America鈥檚 leading builder of CNC machines, which he started in 1983. Haas also owns multiple NASCAR teams.
