Our goal here at Oakton is to provide high quality, hands-on training in the high tech disciplines required to gain an entry level job position, or to advance in a current position, in a  manufacturing or warehouse-distribution organization. All of our instructors have at least 10 years of industry experience in the disciplines they teach. We focus on CNC machining, CNC setup and programming, automation systems design and maintenance, PLC programming and machine control systems, industrial robotics systems, sensor technology, vision systems, and bar code / RFID technologies.

Students that have completed our programs are employed in a wide variety of manufacturing and distribution organizations throughout the north and northwest Chicago area. After graduation they hold technical positions in manufacturing and distribution companies including positions in programming CNC machines for high tolerance part creation, machine design and automation systems integrators, maintenance organizations, and product design groups that require rapid prototyping equipment.
