There is a need for machinists and machine operators who have the following skills: blueprint reading, analog technology, Swiss technology, and manual machining.
| "Manual machining is missing." | Northwest |
| "They've got to have the degree, and then normally we'll want a minimum of two or five years of working experience. If you don't have those credentials, we generally won't even look at them—that's for manual and CNC." | Northwest |
| "We can go to many different machines, but really what we're not finding is the experience—the experienced set-up operator type person. The person that can set up, do the problem-solving, and understand the machine. You need three to five years of experience in order to get there." | Northwest |
| "We found a need for blueprint reading classes, and we didn't have the time or resources to pull that together and teach it on-site." | Northwest |
