Video Tutorial Covers NIMS Testing

Given current demand manufacturing talent, I wasn’t at all surprised to learn that the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) set a new record last year for the number of awarded credentials. If you’d like to get your moldmaking business in on the action, check out the video above. Designed to educate and empower your staff to begin NIMS testing at your location, the 38-minute video offers step-by-step instructions on each phase of the testing process. It covers all roles and procedures, including registration, performance projects and online theory tests.

If you don’t have 38 minutes to spare, you can download the Credentialing 101 kit, which contains video screenshots and various resources to start testing right away.
