The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMs) is developing an innovative, competency-based apprenticeship training model that addresses training for the skills for the following six occupations:  machinist, CNC programming, CNC milling, CNC turning and milling, press setup operator, machine maintenance, service & repair.  Apprentices move through a program at their own pace, benchmark the achievement of each set of core competencies and build a portfolio of skills and interim credentials that validate the acquired skill levels.  Additionally, the related instruction is articulated with many two and four year colleges, allowing apprentices to work toward a degree.
