Industry Certification Programs
Manufacturers continue to struggle finding workers with the right skills for today’s technology driven workplace. According to the NAM Skills Gap Report, a majority of respondents identified a shortage of qualified skilled production employees including machinists, operators, and technicians. No longer is there room in manufacturing for unskilled workers. A skilled workforce is vital to the success of any manufacturer competing in this global economy.
Increasingly, manufacturers are looking to national organizations to identify, develop and establish skill standards. These industry-defined skills offer both entry-level and incumbent workers the opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the necessary skills for the technologically intensive jobs of the 21st century. Whether establishing basic competencies for an entry-level job or a specific career path such as a CNC Machine Operator, national standards establish the core competencies that can be used as a comparative benchmark.
