Second class for students to begin May 14 but competition for seats is stiff

The RESA internship program will hold an informational preview day at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 7, at the Yavapai College CTEC Campus, 220 Ruger Road.  Attendees will be asked to take a preliminary questionnaire to determine their current skill level in math and writing while providing other pertinent information. This is a prelude to selecting students to enroll in the College’s specialized 15-week intensive training/internship program in custom 3D printing. That class is scheduled to begin May 14.

Yavapai College and the City of Prescott have partnered with the Prescott technology company, RESA Wear, to offer the 15-week intensive training/internship program for the company in custom 3D printing. Students who are selected can intern while they are in the 15-week course and are paid $14 an hour to start.  Upon successful completion of the course, interns may be hired by RESA as a production technician and earn up to $25 an hour, or more.

The College says that applicants must be able to lift 40 to 50 pounds, have a clean driving record and be willing to travel. The cost of tuition may be covered for student trainees who qualify for a Northern Arizona Council of Governments grant.

According to the College press release, “our first course is going extremely well with more than 25 students currently enrolled,” said Yavapai College instructor, Rick Peters.  “Students come to us from many different backgrounds–from retired aircraft mechanic to a first-time student, so we’re seeing great potential from every demographic. We’re excited to continue offering this unique opportunity to train for a well-paying career to prospects throughout Arizona.”
