EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT | CHICAGO

Did you know that more than 2400 schools in the USA use Haas CNC machine tools for CNC training and manufacturing education?

Among the many benefits of training with Haas CNC machine tools is that the entire range of products utilizes the same, standardized, easy-to-use, easy-to-teach Haas CNC control interface. This enables students (and teachers) to rapidly become proficient and confident in operating the equipment. Also, Haas CNC Control Simulators offer a compact and affordable addition to any CNC training program.

Graduating students with Haas CNC experience also have a significant advantage upon entering the workforce. Haas CNC machine tools are among the most popular in use today, providing an abundance of job opportunities throughout the United States.

Best of all, Haas offers a special package to schools purchasing Haas CNC machine tools, which includes a discount off the published list price, a 2-year extended warranty, and a free Haas Control Simulator.

HTEC NETWORK

Haas Automation established the Haas Technical Education Center (HTEC) Network more than 20 years ago, to support manufacturing education programs at secondary schools, community colleges and universities, and educate the next generation of CNC machinists. Today, there are more than 2400 HTEC schools throughout the USA.

The HTEC Network is an industry and education led initiative that enables manufacturing technology educators and their schools to acquire the latest CNC machine tools and related CNC ancillary equipment, software, and educational materials. The goals are to provide students with a relevant, high-tech, and hands-on educational experience, and graduate work-ready CNC machinists, programmers, and engineers who fulfill the needs of today’s industrial employers, and are ready to meet the manufacturing challenges of the future.

HTEC members can contact, collaborate, share, and network with more than 2400 schools, colleges, and universities that use Haas CNC machines throughout the Americas. They can also work with more than 95 CNC Technology Partners, who are pledged to support CNC education.

GENE HAAS FOUNDATION

In 1999, Haas Automation CEO Gene Haas founded the Gene Haas Foundation. Growing up with a strong social conscience instilled by his family, Mr. Haas initially formed the foundation to fund the needs in the local community of Southern California, current home to Haas Automation’s 1.1-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Over time, the foundation expanded its mission by supporting educational institutions throughout the United States to help fill the skills gap for American manufacturing. A recent report titled “2018 skills gap and future of work study” forecasts that 2.4 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled between 2018 and 2028, with a total economic impact of $2.5 trillion to the U.S. economy. His commitment to strengthening U.S. manufacturing led Mr. Haas to expand his Foundation and its focus on manufacturing education in the form of scholarships for CNC machinist training, and general support for programs nationwide.

The Gene Haas Foundation donates millions of dollars every year to education. In 2019 alone, the Foundation provided more than $10.9 million in grants to education, the majority in the form of scholarship funds.
