SMT’s Hands-On, Competency-Based Manufacturing Skill Solutions are recognized as “Best Practice” productivity tools by many of the world’s largest and most respected manufacturing organizations. Our Industrial Skill Assessment Programs identify and measure the skills required to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot a modern manufacturing facility. Identifying skills and competencies prior to hire is the single most effective means to ensure a quality hire and drive productivity in industry. Many organizations assess their incumbent workforce and deliver targeted training based on the data. SMT’s Assessment Devices are used in the hiring process globally for the selection and evaluation of Maintenance Mechanics, Machine Operators, Industrial Electricians, PLC Technicians, Electro-Mechanical personnel, Process Control Technicians, and CNC Operation Personnel. We have over four decades of data and thirty-eight validation studies confirming the efficacy of this process. Our Manufacturing Skills Training Programs train the critical hard skills required to optimize performance in a modern manufacturing facility. Troubleshooting skills are the focus, the heart and soul, of the curriculum. SMT’s manufacturing skills training program is a 100% Demand-Driven program. The curriculum has been built by and for industrial operations professionals. These manufacturing leaders possess an in-depth understanding of the skills required to optimize performance. These are the skills we train to. Twelve of SMT’s manufacturing skills assessment and training programs are now recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT®).
