PMI Tour

It is PMI's mission to provide hands-on training in a wide range of technical skills. By utilizing modernized equipment and employing the newest technology, techniques and methods, PMI strives to provide both companies and individuals with the skills they need to improve their knowledge and productivity.

Many students and companies have already benefited from the training they obtained at PMI. The following testimonials were written by PMI graduates and employers who have seen positive results from the training they or their employees received.

Graduates:

“ PMI has given me a career for the first time. I now have several job opportunities available rather than taking another dead-end pipe dream job.”

“PMI is a good step to furthering your education in the tooling field. I already had a machining background prior to coming to PMI and enrolled in the CNC Programmer program to receive additional training. The additional training I received has raised my wages and further my career.”

“I had no experience in the Tool and Die trade, I was unemployed, and I needed an education. The experience and training I got at PMI was a key factor in getting me back into a good paying line of work. The one on one attention I received helped me learn faster and allowed me to learn more. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and backed up by years of experience. PMI gave me a huge advantage in the field!”

"C&J Industries, Inc. has found PMI's training to be of high quality. If PMI does not have the training we required as part of their normal curriculum, they work with us to try to provide a suitable program. We also utilize PMI's equipment if it is not cost effective for C&J to have the equipment in house. We have been very happy with the services provided by PMI."

"In today's manufacturing industry, continuous improvement is an absolute must, especially in the hand tool industry. The international competition is tremendous and pressure to produce offshore is growing everyday.

At Channellock, we have and will continue to work with PMI for both technology and human resource support as a valuable partner in our continuous improvement projects. Having local resources available to help us develop people and our processes is extremely important to our business."

"Hillcrest has used PMI for many things in the past and will continue to do so in the future. We are very satisfied with the quality of trained personnel on PMI's staff. From their technical support to the classroom, PMI has more than done their job."

"PMI is different because our employees get hands-on training in their classes. The equipment at PMI is also current with the most up-to-date technology."

"My advice to fellow employers would be to get to know PMI personally. We have been very pleased with the PMI graduates we hired. We have been just as pleased with our current employees who have upgraded their skills at PMI."

"Tech Tool & Molded Plastics has utilized PMI for tooling apprentice training, plastics processing training, the shared use program, and has hired PMI graduates. PMI's state of the art training facility and equipment coupled with its willingness to accommodate the needs of this regions employers make it the logical choice for students and employers alike. The manufacturing industry is high-tech and in need of many skilled workers to fill open positions, PMI is helping to lead the way."

"PMI is an excellent training facility for upgrading or obtaining new training. PMI offers new equipment for training and is also available for company owners to look for their future equipment purchasing needs."
