William M. Davies Jr. Career and Technical High School renews NIMS accreditation

William M. Davies Career and Technical High School, Lincoln, R.I., has renewed the NIMS accreditation of its machine technology program. This accreditation reaffirms the school’s pledge to uphold national industry metalworking standards as set forth by NIMS, further enabling the program to support the needs of students, the local community and employers within it, and the metalworking industry at large.

NIMS conducted an on-site evaluation at the high school in fall 2014. The school offers the only secondary education machine technology program in Rhode Island and is the only NIMS-accredited training facility in the state.

The accreditation focuses on skills from the NIMS Machining Level I National Standard, with emphasis on manual milling skills and manual turning. Students also develop skills in CNC machining, quality assurance, CAD, and CAM.
