Manufacturing Skill Levels Show Signs of Improvement
MERRIMACK, NH—For the first time in almost two decades, manufacturing skill assessment scores are improving. It indicates that the skills gap could be closing.
“For the first three quarters of 2018, assessment scores have increased in 38 states,” says Stephen Berry, CEO of Scientific Management Techniques, a company that specializes in manufacturing skill assessments and training. “Should the data remain at this level for the balance of the year, this will mark the first time in 19 years that average assessment scores have increased in two out of three consecutive years.”
