NAM – Endorsed Skills Certification System
• Developed by manufacturers for manufacturers
• System of Industry-based credentials
• Validate skills / competencies needed to be productive / successful in manufacturing
• Based on third-party assessment using industry-set standards
• Not dependent on a particular program. Instead, demonstrated skill
• Endorsed certifications are nationally portable, third-party validated, and industry-supported with data results
