Submitted by Kip Steele on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 5:30pm

SUCCESS!

I reached out to Erika Lynch , who is the head of workforce development institute over at Gateway Community college and we spoke about their CNC program. They are consolidating their campus into the new location in New Haven but expect to be ready by the 1st of August.
