Minnesota Manufactured™ Benefits Both Employers and Employees

  • Skills training that can be put to work immediately

In addition, course work is aligned with the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council Certified Production certification. After completing the four aligned courses, employees can choose to test for this nationally-recognized credential.

Employees can also gain college credit when they successfully complete coursework which may support promotional opportunities within the company.

How it Works

We work closely with manufacturers so the course delivery fits both employer and employee needs. The Minnesota Manufactured™ training program can be tailored for employees to take:

  • One course.
  • A combination of courses.
  • 16 credit Production Technologies certificate.

We will help you contract with a Minnesota Manufactured™ participating college. The contract will outline:

  • Courses your employees will be taught.
