At the annual conference of the North American Strategy for Competitiveness (NASCO) on Sept. 29, 2015, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) and the U.S. Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) signed a memorandum of understanding to announce the harmonization of their respective standards and certifications for front-line manufacturing production workers.
CME and MSSC also will initiate communications to their respective manufacturing communities, encouraging them to recognize both the MSSC Certified Production Technician (CPT) and CME Production Assemblers and Operators certifications as equivalent credentials that can:
- Facilitate cross-border worker movement for job assignments.
- Promote equivalent hiring and promotion processes.
- Provide preferential consideration to individuals possessing these credentials, and create common performance metrics and consistent work practices for the front-line workforce in supply chain companies.
- Enhance the international recognition of both CME and MSSC credentials. www.cme-mec.ca
