In 1998, the federal National Skill Standards Board endorsed the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council as the Voluntary Partnership of industry, labor, and education. Responsible for defining the industry wide skill standards for front line production workers, industry provided thousands of workers to develop those standards. The substantive foundation for the MSSC is signature Certified Production Technician CPT certification, now commemorating 25 years of upskilling America's workforce.  \nMSSC has grown far beyond initial expectations into a national institution of over 2000 authorized assessment centers, 3300 plus authorized instructors teaching seven different national certification programs with two in manufacturing and five in supply chain logistics, helping to close the skills gap and enabling a path to secure in-demand, lucrative careers. With an unprecedented shift of companies reshoring and opening new plants in America, we are at the forefront of a new manufacturing renaissance.  \nAt the same time, industry is going through a digital transformation with accelerated investments in industry 4.0 digital technologies.
