NASG continues to recognize that there is a manufacturing skills gap with skilled labor. This in turn has caused many manufacturing skilled trades positions to go unfilled. NASG has developed a registered tool and die apprenticeship program for our Mexico facility. Our Mexico course curriculum will be based on German toolmaker training standards. A separate state of the art tool room, fully equipped, along with a dedicated classroom was constructed to support ongoing learning and development.
This is NASG’s 2nd tool and die apprenticeship program with the first being in Tennessee. It is our goal to continue to train and grow the next generation of skilled trades workforce. Our programs include classroom instruction covering engineering and tool making concepts as well as hands on instruction with use of cutting-edge manufacturing tools and equipment.
Our Mexico facility apprenticeship program will be trained according to the guidelines of the German Vocational Training Act. Attending the dedication and celebration of our Technical Training Center in Mexico was Andreas Müller, Deputy Managing Director of the German-Mexican Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Ulises Dominguez, Head of Education and Training at the German-Mexican Chamber of Industry and Commerce along with Michael Haughey, President and CEO of North American Stamping Group, Rainer Hess, NASG Mexico Training Manager and Jim Lumsden, GM of NASG Mexico.
