Guillermo Martinez, 34, began his SBVC Machining journey in Spring 2016. Under the guidance of faculty Miguel Ortiz, Martinez studied over three years before being offered a Computer Numerical Control Programmer/Mechanic position with LeVecke Corporation, a wholesale distributor of distilled spirits. Martinez is quick to credit the instruction of Ortiz and the access to the latest technology in the classroom for being job-ready when LeVecke called. “[Mr. Ortiz]” had a wealth of knowledge when it came to teaching and had an answer to every question I had. I was very fortunate that the Machining Program had the latest software of Mastercam/Solid works with updated HASS CNC, mills, lathes and grinders,” said Martinez. Martinez, who already earned certificates for CNC Operator and Manual Operator, plans to return soon for a third certificate.
