In response to this problem, Sherbrooke GearWorks partnered with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherbrookegearworks.com\/en\/become-a-machinist-at-sherbrooke-gearworks\/\">work-study vocational diploma program in Machinery<\/a> offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/expe.cssds.gouv.qc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centre de formation professionnelle Exp\u00e9<\/a> in January\u00a02022 to encourage people of all ages to go back to school and learn the machinist trade in a factory environment.<\/p>\n<p>The first year of the program has demonstrated that we have a winning formula, both for participants and mentors and for the company!<\/p>\n<h2>Learning on the job<\/h2>\n<p>The paid work-study program not only enables students to focus entirely on their studies, but also gives them a chance to apply their knowledge while working for a company. In just 15\u00a0months, students alternate between sessions in the classroom and the factory to put in practice what they\u2019ve learned with real machines, while benefiting from their mentors\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas, a young machinist, can especially relate to these students since he was in their shoes not very long ago. He enjoys his mentorship role, which allows him to share relevant information as well as his insights right from the start of the training. Moreover, he noticed the positive impact of this formula on the students\u2019 progress.<\/p>\n<h2>A rewarding experience for all<\/h2>\n<p>For Alain, who will soon retire after 30\u00a0years of service with Sherbrooke GearWorks, teaching students as part of the program is a way to pass on the torch to the next generation of machinists: \u201cThis program enables me to share my knowledge and make sure no one repeats the mistakes I\u2019ve made in the past. I feel I can truly leave with my mind at peace, knowing that the company will not be penalized,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>A student named Adam, who will complete the program in less than two\u00a0months, was able to benefit from Alain\u2019s valuable advice. The young man knew nothing about machining one year ago, but he now believes he has finally found his path after several years in the classroom: \u201cI began studying at the university, but I didn\u2019t enjoy it. One day, I noticed an advertisement for the program and decided to enroll. I had no idea what the machinist trade was all about, but the moment I put my hands on a machine, I knew it was a right fit for me!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New cohorts coming soon<\/h2>\n<p>Since the experience has proved conclusive for all, Sherbrooke GearWorks already plans to welcome new cohorts in 2023.
