MFISD News: Workforce Ready Robot at MFHS

Marble Falls Junior and Senior students will have the opportunity during the second semester of this school year to earn Industry Certification in programming and operating FANUC Robots. FANUC Robots are used by Texas companies like Dell, Kraft, John Deere, Lear, Toyota, and many high-tech and oil industry firms.

“Our goal is to help our students be workforce ready when they graduate from Marble Falls, said Guffey. “Our Career and Technology Education (CTE) Robotics class will produce students with robotics certification who can go to work in Central Texas right out of school. Our students will also be prepared to advance their training in Community College and University programs.”

The new FANUC Robot is scheduled for delivery to MFHS in October. Once it is delivered, Mr. Guffey will attend an intensive certification program in November so both he and the MFHS CTE program are both certified to deliver the Robotics training beginning in January of 2015.
