Demand for machinists grows in Seacoast region
In southern New Hampshire a surge in industrial growth spurs demand for machinists. Portsmouth Vocational-Technical College reports low enrollment in its two year machine tool processes program despite strong job prospects, with firms eager to hire graduates. Officials plan a cooperative training venture with Moore Business Forms and the CETA program to address the gap. Women are actively encouraged to apply, marking a shift from traditional male dominance in the trades.
