Gooden's mission is to prep the next generation of machine tool workers

After 19 years of working for Schaeffler, Marty Gooden shifted to the family chicken farm.


With two decades in machine tool working in Cheraw, it was time for a break.


That was 2008 and Gooden's time off did not last long.



Gooden received a call from Northeastern Technical College wanting to put two decades of machine and tool experience to use and pass down that knowledge to new generations of skilled workers.


“I had more free time than I thought on the farm,” he said. “I knew the instructors at Northeastern Technical College and decided to come back to the field in a different way. “


Gooden began as a part-time adjunct instructor and took the first available full-time instructor position within a year of instructing.


“I enjoy teaching students who want to learn and show them a trade that can provide for them and their families,” Gooden said.

Gooden’s ongoing mission at NETC is to keep its machine tool programs modern to support the needs of industry providing training to students with valued skillsets.


The fundamentals of machine tools have remained consistent, but the precision of the digital age constantly evolves, he said.


During his tenure at NETC, Gooden has taught everything from safety classes to hydraulics; he is currently teaching blueprints and machine tool theory.


Gooden has kept pace with industry standards being accredited by the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS), as an instructor as well as being part of the team securing NIMS accreditation in 2023 for the program offered on the Cheraw campus.


NIMS is a widely recognized organization requiring rigorous examination for schools to meet the educational needs of the manufacturing and machining industries.

Clinical. School. Work.  


In the last semester for Northeastern Technical College Medical Assistant students, the last semester is hectic as students, from adult teens to 40s, juggle family and responsibilities weaving school into the mix.  


NETC Medical Assistant student Nastylija Johns, 27, of Dillon works at an OBGYN office associated with McLeod Health but during clinical work, Johns spends her hours at McLeod Family Medicine in Marion.

 

The Marion office is shifting adding a new nurse practitioner, she said.  


“Since she’s started, she’s bringing in new patients,” Johns said.  


Prior, it seemed to Johns the regular clientele was “mostly older patients with the occasional young patient,” Johns said.


Growth is expected as the Baby Boomer Generation (born 1946-64) are retired or entering retirement age creating a health care demand while the United State's working age population shrinks.

 

Labor studies have shown a need for about 400,000 home health care providers by 2025 and 200,000 new nurses annually until 2026 to replace those retiring. 



Medical Assistants are unlicensed professionals who physicians can delegate tasks as well as coordinate patient scheduling and manage patient records. 


Students who begin the NETC Medical Assistant Program typically complete the program with certifications for Certified Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy, and Medical Assistant. 



To sign up for the medical assistant program, students must:

 

  • Complete 22 credits with a minimum grade of average of 2.0 in all 22 credits for Nurse Preparatory Certificate program. 


  • Submit results of annual tuberculin skin test (TST) and current Basic Life Support—Provider (BLS) by the American Heart Association.  


  • Submit information and fees for background checks and toxicology screenings.
