National apprentice program curricula under development.

Publication: Metalworking Insiders' Report
Date: Thursday, May 29 2003

NIMS, the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, is working on a program to provide consistent credentialing for metalworking occupations.

A recent U.S. Labor Dept. grant of $1.9-million, leverated by $7.4-million in private investment funds, will be used to five a 21st Century

facelift to existing apprenticeship programs.

Students enrolled will receive national credentials under a competency-based program, unlike time-based programs. Working with the Labor Dept.'s apprenticeship and training office, NIMS (www.nims-skills.org) hopes to take the model apprenticeship curricula to companies and training providers nationwide.

National Institute for Metalworking Skills, Fairfax, Va. 703-352-4971.
