MWSU new CNC Training program graduates first class

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Missouri Western State University's Center for Workforce Development announced it will graduate its first class of students from its "Intro to CNC Machining and Milling" training program.

The program is part of a growing portfolio of workforce initiatives championed by Rebecca Lobina, MoWest’s Director of Workforce Development, who joined the University on April 1, 2025.

A total of eight students will graduate from the program.

“This training was created for the adult, full-time employee,” said Lobina. “That is why we offered the program from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. twice a week.”

MWSU recently launched almost two dozen workforce training programs, including a 5-part Leadership Series, which was requested by multiple regional employers.

That series begins July 30th. To see all of the workforce development trainings being offered by MoWest, please visit www.missouriwestern.edu/workforce/.
