“Blue Ridge Community College’s Machining Program is more than just a valuable asset to our area, it is an imperative facet to our industry. Without education in Machining and Manufacturing, our ability to be competitive in the Global Economy would suffer. BRCC provides more than just Machining Programs, they provide a path for a solid future in an uncertain world.”
-Brad Pence
“The nature of our business requires that all of our employees be fully trained on the handling and distribution of Hazardous Materials in the workplace. With the numerous options available to receive this training, nothing comes close to the materials, facilities, and instructors at BRCC to efficiently and effectively accomplish our training needs.
