Manufacturing companies
across the country are looking for employees who can operate computer
numerical control (CNC) machining equipment, and Lansing Community College (LCC) is helping fill that need with its new CNC course.

"The Zen of programming is, 'Be the tool,' " he said.

But it's also a fast-track solution to a gap in the region's work force and, for the nine students enrolled, a good shot at starting a new career quickly.
