Grant Opportunity for Secondary and Postsecondary Metalworking Skills Certification Programs

11/13/2014

 
The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS), the precision manufacturing industry’s premier standards and certification body, and the Gene Haas Foundation (GHF), have teamed up to support a new grant opportunity to help schools prepare more students for success in precision manufacturing careers.

The GHF-NIMS Credentialing Grant will provide eligible secondary and post-secondary institutions with grants to build high-quality technical programs by providing funding to support implementation of industry-recognized credentials.  Eligible institutions must not currently offer NIMS credentials.  The grant has launched with a $100,000 investment from the GHF.

With an estimated 99,500 projected job openings for machinists and 117,100 projected job openings for industrial maintenance technicians nationally through 2020, we need to ensure individuals are learning the proper skills to enter into high-paying, lifelong career pathways.  

We ask that you please consider sharing this opportunity with your networks, school administrators and instructors.  In order to apply, there is a very short, simple online application available.

Follow this link to access the online application.

Proposals are due by December 1, 2014.

For more information or should you have any questions, please contact me at mstover@nims-skills.org or at (703) 352-4971.

Director of Strategic Initiatives
