Employers Using Skills Certifications

At a time when productivity and meeting the bottom line are critical to business success, employing a highly skilled and educated workforce can mean the difference between a good investment and a high risk.  The talent on your shop floors and in your plants drives productivity improvements, ability to lean and capacity for innovation.

The NAM-Endorsed Manufacturing Skills Certification System validates the skills and competencies of incoming workers and can also be used to upgrade and hone the skills of current employees to meet the changing demands of new technologies, processes, or job descriptions.  Skill certifications reduce the risk in hiring and promotion, and can save employers time and money.
