1 min read

Sescoi has extended its collaboration with Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) lead provider ATG, to provide training facilities for WorkNC CAM/CAD software in both Aylesbury and Manchester.

A registered charity, ATG obtained its Centre of Vocational Excellence status following rigorous evaluation of the quality of its training by the Learning and Skills Council. Its aim is to provide practical, hands-on training and apprenticeships to individuals between 16 and 24 years of age in order to develop skilled resources for local industry. The CoVE works in collaboration with seven partner companies - PERA, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Abingdon and Whitney College, Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, ISIS Training Services and the GTMA, to provide sustainable and affordable training resources aimed at closing the skills gap for local companies. ATG uses six licences of WorkNC to programme its new CNC machining centres, providing sufficient facilities to run courses for local apprentices and for Sescoi’s own customers when they upgrade or purchase new software. ATG will be able to showcase WorkNC G3, the latest version of the software which combines design, analysis, machining and verification into one ergonomic interface, and which includes powerful new algorithms for smoother machining and faster metal removal.
