Access to a highly skilled and educated workforce is the most critical element for innovation and modern manufacturing’s success. Industry recognized certifications and credentials are essential to create a workforce that is prepared and successful in the 21st century workplace.
The Manufacturing Institute launched the Skills Certification System to address the skills gap challenge and to promote a renaissance of manufacturing education across the country. The Skills Certification System is designed by and for industry, and endorsed by the National Association of Manufacturers.
