Program details
Overview
Woodworking Techniques - CNC is a one-year Ontario College Certificate for students interested in programming and operating computer numerical control (CNC) equipment used in secondary wood manufacturing. Delivered over two academic terms at the Kitchener - Doon campus, the program covers CNC techniques for equipment such as beam saws, nesting routers, point-to-point machining centres, drills, and dovetail machines, which are applied across sectors including architectural millwork, kitchen cabinets, and furniture components. Through active, hands-on learning in a 30,000-square-foot facility with modern equipment, students gain practical knowledge of the equipment and best practices used in CNC programming across a variety of industrial woodworking settings. The program prepares graduates for technical roles in the secondary wood manufacturing sector that require CNC programming and machine set-up skills, responding to the sector's growing reliance on computerized numerical control technology.
