The PMMI Mechatronics certification program provides technical credentials to help move the manufacturing workforce forward and close the ever-expanding skills gap.
Through a series of tests based on industry-developed skill standards, the PMMI Mechatronics Certification program:
- Helps employers assess workers for core skills.
- Guides schools in developing curriculum to prepare students for the manufacturing workforce.
- Provides a career pathway for students looking for rewarding careers in advanced manufacturing.
PMMI Mechatronics certification tests are professionally developed with technology-specific subject matter experts and are regularly updated. We work with a growing number of PMMI Mechatronics Education and Industry Partners to further advance this program.
What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronics is the synergistic application of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, controls engineering, and computer science to build and maintain high-tech equipment.
Why is it important?
Employers today need multi-skilled workers to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot equipment on the plant floor. To achieve this, workers require mechatronics skills. PMMI’s online Mechatronics Certification tests benefit both employers and the workforce.
Who can benefit?
- Industrial maintenance technicians
- Maintenance mechanics
- Installation, maintenance, and repair workers
- Production technicians
- Military personnel transitioning into careers in manufacturing
Mechatronics for Employers
Employers can use the certification tests to assess the capabilities of current workers and then provide them a pathway to learn and become more valuable to an organization. Workers can confirm their technical knowledge and better pinpoint areas for further training.
- Screen potential hires for required knowledge and skills.
- Assess the capabilities of existing workers and identify knowledge gaps to be addressed with additional training.
- Provide a career pathway for employees looking to advance within your organization.
