Skills Credentialing (MSSC/WisPASS)

As part of the national drive to sustain America's manufacturing competitiveness, a new system has been developed for portable, standardized credentialing of baseline skills for production workers. The effort is being led by the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC), made up of CEOs, union leaders, educators and other public interest groups. The MSSC represents all manufacturing industries, making it the largest organization of its kind.

The system uses an online multiple-choice test, combined with a computer-simulated exercise divided into four modules:

  • Safety
  • Quality
  • Manufacturing Process
  • Maintenance Awareness
