Top credentials equal bottom line results for employers and employees.
The MSSC has brought together leaders of business, labor unions, trade associations, professional societies, education, community based organizations, civil rights groups, and government to create the blueprint for a new skills system in manufacturing the MSSC Skill Standards System. It is our hope that this new system will fuel American based manufacturers with skilled workers, while also providing workers with portable credentials and access to good jobs. In late 2000, the MSSC completed the development of the first and fundamental component of the system the skill standards. Completion of these standards marks the first major step towards developing a nationwide system of skill standards, assessments and certification, as envisioned in the National Skill Standards Act of 1994. The MSSC membership is comprised of leading companies and leading national, state and regional organizations with a direct institutional stake in the improvement of U.S.-based manufacturing.
