Automotive Careers - Hello from SAM Racing - School of Automotive Machinist

Press Release for School of Automotive Machinists
Announcing a New Automotive Course
CNC Automotive Machining

The School of Automotive Machinists is proud to announce the start of our new Automotive Engine CNC Machining Program beginning Spring of 2009.

This course will allow students to learn and gain experience in the setup, programming and operation of 5-axis CNC machining. Students will thoroughly explore all aspects of the machining center including digitizing and G-code programming. With the industry quickly turning to these highly sophisticated and accurate machines, this course will qualify graduates as a CNC automotive machinist. Our course will also prepare them for employment in the most technologically advanced shops in motorsports. The CNC class will be taught on an industry leading Haas ES-5-4T Horizontal Machining Center allowing hands on training from the most basic techniques to the most complex 5th axis cylinder head porting.

I wish you luck. I've been offering Chevrolet sales job in Ohio for some time and found no takers.

Many folks aren't hungry enough to learn a new skill. Take a job for experience or move.
You've got to love a country where generation after generation. FXXX it, I've said enough.

Thanks Jakes Dad,

Automotive sales have been tough for a while. We understand economy is bad that might be the lack of interest in your offerings, but when there is a lack of jobs available we have found from our research that people go back to school to expand there knowledge and learn a skilled trade.

Good luck with your sales.

The course sounds like a lot of fun - and when you're doing this for a living, your clients don't think you're trying to pull on over on them (and you don't work 12 hour days for possibly nothing).

Plenty of people are more then willing to learn a new skill, this time last year I was working on airplanes, now I have a desk job.

With GM being in the news every day, tons of lay-offs, dealerships not selling cars....... if it was you would you be trying to get a job in car sales? I know guys that did it when times were still good and they said it was still hard.

I know there is good money in it and all but you have to look at it from the outside.

SAM and some other school are a good opertunity for people, Id love to go to SAM if the cost was not threw the roof. I like how they say that graduates will be prepared for employment doing what they went to school for instead of being like some school that say you will make big money your first year out when the people working in that industry (any industry) know thats not tre and all these kids come flocking in and is sucks for them when they get done with school haha.

There is a local who is one of the best head porters in the country and like 90% of his work is shipped to him.... does mostly race stuff, has even done Pro Stock and does some work from time to time for one of the best LS shops in the country. He has 20+ years doing this for a living.

I talked to him about SAM to get his opinion and he said that he has worked with SAM grads that were fresh out of school and has had them work for him and he said that from what he has seen the SAM grads have a rather good idea on what they are doing and are very familiar with the basics and can work about any machine they see or can figure it out. Other schools its the other way around.

It is nice to find out a school that is legit when you ask someone that does not work for them, did not go there, currently employ grads, ect ect.
