Institute Staff Contacts
Access to talented individuals with a high-quality education and advanced skills is critical to manufacturers’ capacity for innovation and business success. Companies continue to report they cannot find individuals with the skills required for today’s advanced manufacturing workplaces. The technology infusion and high productivity that dominate the advanced manufacturing landscape demand a smart, safe, and sustainable manufacturing workforce. The Manufacturing Institute responded by creating the NAM-Endorsed Manufacturing Skills Certification System to directly address the deficits in manufacturing education and training, which are limiting the pool of qualified candidates for high-quality manufacturing jobs.
