RJG Partners with Central Community College, Opens Training Facility
Central Community College (CCC) and RJG have partnered to bring injection molding training to Nebraska.
Central Community College (CCC) and RJG have partnered to bring injection molding training to Nebraska. CCC will embed RJG education into its curriculum when the new training lab is completed in the beginning of 2020.
RJG’s award-winning courses have trained countless injection molding professionals in a real-world, hands-on capacity to improve their careers and lives. CCC has a passion for teaching real-world skills, including injection molding. They’ve been working hard to get the training facility up and running as quickly as possible for their students.
Currently, the mechanicals are in place, and the floor will soon receive its new finish in the 4,000-square-foot lab. Kathy Fuchser, campus president/division VP, and Doug Pauley, associate dean/training development, are driving the initiative and have added Ben Wilshusen as the trainer for their plastics program.
This effort has also included many local injection molding companies. There have been machines donated by Becton Dickinson, Molex, Arburg and Toyo. Advanced Engineering is donating the complete cooling system, and Major Mold is helping with molds. Other smaller donations include conveyors, robots, and more.
