PAID LEARNING FOR THOSE NEW TO MANUFACTURING

The Center for Competency Development offers local residents the necessary basic skills and knowledge to begin their careers within the manufacturing arena, all done while being paid as an employee.

The program begins with self-paced online modules to learn safety, basic tools, fasteners, chain of command, timecards, introduction to print reading, measuring, and more. Our experienced team works closely with each trainee to ensure they understand basic processes and can apply them in their day-to-day work.

    THE FIRST 30-DAYS

    The first thirty days of training include self-paced online modules combined with hands-on training in various businesses that exposes the individual to basic manufacturing processes. Most initial hands-on training exposes the individual to basic manufacturing processes.

  • EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER TRIAL PERIOD

    After the successful completion of the initial training, usually taking about 30-days, the Center will work with each individual to find an opportunity with a local manufacturing business to complete a 30-day trial employment period, allowing the employee the opportunity to showcase their new competencies and determine if the opportunity aligns with their passion.

“Everybody worked with me, stayed with me throughout it. Tom checked on me throughout everything. Doing the online testing helped me to learn what I needed to learn when I went to the actual facilities. Going through the programs on the computer helped me know some of the things that I was having to do here at NorthAm and got me prepared for that a little bit mentally. Going through each of the shops inside of Reacher, like the Flex compared to Mod, gives you a bit of everything throughout it. I learned everything that I needed to learn at each center stop throughout it.”

“I actually appreciate the Center because it sent me all around when I got to learn everything. Coming to Yukon I would have been completely blind, and I wouldn’t have caught on as quick as I did. It was really an eye opener, the depth that you go into and the stuff that you need to learn. It was very beneficial and I’m very appreciative of it (The Center).”
