SME Introduces Manufacturing Associate Certification

SME has developed and will offer a Manufacturing Associate (CMfga) Certification.  The new certification is designed for individuals new to manufacturing who may not currently possess enough knowledge or experience for more advanced technical certifications. This could include high school students, dislocated workers and individuals coming from other nonmanufacturing sectors who wish to pursue an entry-level role as an assembler, manufacturing associate or production worker, among others.
