Dylan Willocks: Machine Tool student at HGTC!

Dylan has always enjoyed the ability to create new things, so he knew a hands-on educational program would be right for him.  HGTC’s Machine Tool Associates Degree has given him the opportunity to work with different design methods and thrive in a quickly expanding field.

Growing up in the area, Dylan was already familiar with HGTC but was told about Machine Tool by his high school guidance counselor.  As he excelled in academics, he quickly earned an apprenticeship with Peddinghaus as a part of his curriculum.  This hands-on experience has given him the confidence he needs to find successful employment as a machine tool operator.

Upon graduation, Dylan hopes to find full-time employment at one of the industry’s leaders in the southeast.

Congratulations, Dylan, for being chosen as January’s Spotlight Student!
