The new non-credit program was developed by Manufacturing Skills Standards Council (MSSC) and focuses on industry-related, core-competency standards.
“MSSC is a nationally portable, industry-recognized certification that focuses on high performance, technologically advanced production,” said Program Coordinator Angela Lawhorne.
Students earned certificates in Safety, Quality Practices and Measurement; Manufacturing Processes and Production; Maintenance Awareness; and Green Production. In addition, they completed a Career Readiness Certificate, as well as full national certification as a Certified Production Technician.
“They completed a 10-week training program consisting of five modules,” Lawhorne said. “The key work activities, training and assessments fall under these modules. They are Safety; Manufacturing Processes & Production; Green Production; Quality Practices & Management; and Maintenance Awareness.
