Amtek Company Partners with the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC)

We are excited to share that Amtek Company is now the exclusive representative for the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

If you’re not familiar, MSSC offers workforce training and certification programs, most notably for Certified Production Technicians and Certified Logistics Technicians. It is the leading national certification organization in the manufacturing and logistics industries and the only industry certification organization in the U.S. with international accreditation.

CERTIFIED PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN (CPT)

The CPT Certification addresses the core technical competencies of higher skilled production workers in all sectors of manufacturing.  MSSC awards certificates to individuals who pass any of its Production Modules: Safety; Quality Practices & Measurement; Manufacturing Processes & Production; Maintenance Awareness; and Green Production and a full Certified Production Technician (CPT) Certification to those who pass all four original modules (NOTE: At this time, Green is not a requirement for full CPT certification).

CERTIFIED LOGISTICS TECHNICIAN (CLT)

The CLT Certification addresses the core technical competencies of higher skilled, front-line material handling and distribution workers in all supply chain facilities: from factories to warehouses, distribution centers and transporters. MSSC awards the foundational-level Certified Logistics Associate (CLA) certificate and the mid-level Certified Logistics Technician (CLT) certification. CLA is a prerequisite for CLT.

Ideal for secondary, post-secondary, state prisons or Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), MSSC certification programs offer students a wide array of benefits that are well documented – higher wages, higher job placement rates and improved confidence entering the workforce.

The nationwide MSSC System is based upon industry-defined and federally-endorsed standards. It offers both entry-level and incumbent workers the opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills increasingly needed in the technology-intensive jobs of the 21st century.

For more information, you can follow MSSC on Twitter and on Facebook.
