SCMEP just launched their new online Certified Manufacturing Associate (CMfgA) training program! SCMEP has partnered with SME and ToolingU to deliver this program so anyone can become certified from the safety of their homes.
This program is the only certification program in the manufacturing industry that is focused on basic manufacturing concepts and demonstrates an individual’s potential for high-demand, entry-level manufacturing roles. It was designed for dislocated workers and individuals coming from other employment sectors (service industries, hospitality sector, etc.) to prepare for new careers as assemblers, manufacturing associates, and production employees.
Covering fundamental topics such as assembly, maintenance, machining, and more, this nationally recognized certification demonstrates the individual has basic manufacturing knowledge and may be an ideal candidate for entry-level manufacturing employment. With the Certified Manufacturing Associate credential as a strong foundation, an employee can continue with on-the-job training and further education to earn additional certifications and advance in their career.
The program is now available for purchase on SCMEP Online.
