Who We Are

Haas Technical Education Community

A community of manufacturing technology educators – spanning a global footprint of more than 4500 schools, training centers, colleges, and universities – who leverage the capabilities and technologies of Haas Automation, the Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) network, and leading industry partners to exploit the power of modern, advanced manufacturing equipment in an educational setting, with the aim to provide the best CNC training possible for generations to come.

“The HTEC program has given me the opportunity to meet other motivated CNC teachers, and both share best-practices with them, and learn from them. The Haas Technical Education Community has been central to the success of the CNC program in my school – we attracted more students, raised the quality of our education, and connected better with the industry.”

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to provide a collaborative space in which we collectively develop, deliver, and disseminate the best educational methods and techniques for CNC education in the world; and offer industry-standard machines and training at an affordable cost to support the growth and advancement of CNC education.

We want to drive the upskilling of manufacturing educators, and transform CNC classrooms into modern, high-tech advanced manufacturing labs that both encourage students to seek successful careers in CNC and related advanced manufacturing technologies, and ensure these students are well-equipped and ready to work when they enter the field.

This will increase the number of skilled graduates available to fill critical jobs in the growing and evolving manufacturing industry.

“I am honored to support education here at Haas; it’s an area I am passionate about, and I myself am a product of HTEC – our worldwide community of schools utilizing Haas machines for hands-on training. The hands-on experience I gained as a student at Cal Poly – widely known for their “Learn by Doing” motto – is what led me to my career at Haas, and the life I have today. In hindsight, I can’t believe how lucky I was to be there.”
