Small Group or User Group?

What is the difference between the Titans of CNC academy user group and small group?

@russell can you help explain this?

Hello! When you say “User Group”, I think you mean the Facebook Group. I will assume this is what you meant for now to help explain the two.

Our Academy Small Groups are groups of like-minded individuals who want to either learn the machining trade or want to train their community/employees advanced machining techniques. Small Groups are created by Hosts who have access to 1) a CNC Machine and 2) a facility to host members.

The Facebook Group is our closed group where machinists, teachers, students, hobbyists, and really anyone with an interest in machining can request to join to discuss machining with the community at large. It’s similar to this forum, but with a lot more activity and opportunities to converse and otherwise engage with those sharing your passion for manufacturing.

I hope this answers your question. Please let myself or @Billy-Boyce know if you have another inquiry.

I would like to add a new fringe benefit to the members of our Small Group # 99 in Meridianville AL in form of an opportunity to join to be formed Employee Owned Corporation and gain all the benefits will be offered to the members who want to join the group for the purpose of learning CNC trades and shortly after joining begin earing income.

This is made possible because The sponsoring machine shop Teaching Factory, Inc. (which is fully owned by me) just received a contract to design and set up production facility to mass produce new technology wheelchairs. The proposed design automates wheelchair navigation from-to preprogrammed locations with fractional inch accuracy and enables patients weak weak legs and arms to transfers between various work/rest stations without assistance. In addition The contract requires design and building automated production line to produce the wheelchairs in large quantities for minimum cost.
Needless to say a project of that magnitude must begin with training employees who will stay as the company grows, therefore why not offer Small Group 99 members who take the Titans of CNC education program seriously a fringe benefit of becoming employees of the to be formed large Employee Owned Manufacturing Co.
