information about the program

Canada’s manufacturing sector, particularly SMEs, faces a severe national skills shortage and an impending wave of retirements, requiring a 20-30% increase in skilled workers. EMC plans to address this by leveraging their Manufacturing Essentials Certification (MEC) program to train and upskill workers in key roles. 

The program involves employer investment, integrates with workplace experience, and covers essential skills, advanced manufacturing, and leadership for Production Workers, Maintenance Workers, and Supervisors, helping to bridge the skills gap in the industry.
