Based upon extensive research with leading national experts, the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) has updated the Certified Production Technician (CPT) Standards to be “Industry 4.0” ready including nine rapidly emerging technologies with special relevance for manufacturing processes and quality control:

Industry 4.0 including 5G
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Autonomous Robots
Additive (3D) Manufacturing
Data Analytics
Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)
Augmented Reality (AR)
Nanomanufacturing
Advanced Materials

The MSSC team invites you to attend a best practices webinar for MSSC Authorized Instructors on the additions of these technologies into the CPT Standards, Instructor Training, and Online E-learning Training Courses.
Join MSSC CPT Instructor Trainer, Kathy Clayton & MSSC Senior Director of Product Development, Bruce Dickson as they walk MSSC Instructors through the improved “Instructors Website” where Instructors will have access to updated syllabuses, classroom resources, customizable marketing material and more. How to incorporate these new technologies into the classroom and where these changes are occurring in the CPT 4.0 training courses will be covered as well.
We believe that this period of national recovery from COVID-19 is an ideal time for equipping America’s front-line production technicians & our MSSC Instructors with a deeper understanding of these “Industry 4.0” transformational technologies:

A higher skilled workforce can improve cost-effectiveness, quality and productivity to achieve even higher levels of economic growth than the nation was experiencing prior to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Furloughed, newly returning, and incumbent technicians can quickly secure their CPT training using MSSC’s computer-simulation-based, interactive eLearning offered by Amatrol, Inc. and on-line, remote testing using ProctorU.

Stratasys Webinar - The Workforce Development Challenge: Bridging the Additive Manufacturing Skills Gap
2020-05-26 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Date: May 26th
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm CDT

Additive manufacturing has the potential to transform manufacturing supply chains – speeding processes and reducing costs. And its impact is seen across every industry, from aerospace to medical devices. Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked aspects of Additive Manufacturing is workforce development.
While the technology continues to evolve, there’s a widening gap between these advanced solutions and the certified professionals to drive them. Not only is there a lack of industry-endorsed proof of workforce-ready AM skills, but this development is often inconsistent. Across industries, there’s a growing need for highly skilled additive manufacturing workers for key industry jobs. With access for schools to more than $2 billion in workforce development funding from the government – specifically for training programs – now is the time to put a spotlight on your students and the need for AM certification.
