About PMI
Mission Statement
The mission of Precision Manufacturing Institute is to support manufacturers and our communities through value added training, education and technical assistance in a wide-array of manufacturing skills, knowledge and industry-based technologies.
We support our manufacturers and our communities by:
- Developing the manufacturing skill sets of new job seekers and unemployed or under-employed individuals, who are desiring careers in manufacturing
- Advancing the skills and knowledge of incumbent workers, who desire or need to enhance their existing manufacturing skill sets
- Partnering with machine, tooling and software providers to make available the latest “state-of-the-industry” technology for the benefit of our manufacturers and students
- Cooperate and collaborate with community agencies and leaders, manufacturing support organizations, education and training providers, and other entities and individuals whose efforts strengthen the manufacturing industry and foster its growth
Vision
Through our relentless effort to support the precision manufacturing industry of the United States, we strive to be the hallmark of technical training, education, and manufacturing assistance.
