“We are extremely proud of our students’ accomplishments,” stated Rick Kumler, Lead Instructor, NTMA Training Centers, Ontario Campus. “With the training they’ve received our students are ready to enter the workforce as extremely productive contributors. We look forward to competing at the national level at the SkillsUSA National Competition held Kansas City, MO in June.”

“Gibbs and Associates is proud to be an active part of these student’s future career aspirations,” commented Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates. “Without the youth of today becoming interested and trained we will not have a workforce of tomorrow. We wish each and every one of these students who participated in the Skills USA competition a very promising future in manufacturing. We are pleased to present them with a seat of GibbsCAM in recognition of their accomplishments”
