New industry-recognized standards for various job roles available from NIMS

NIMS has announced a new suite of Smart Standards for job roles in the disciplines of Industry 4.0, industrial maintenance technology, dimensional measurements, additive manufacturing, machining, and metal forming. The standards serve as starting points for employers and educators developing or evaluating training in these sectors.
To develop these standards, subject matter experts in the industry wrote, mapped, and agreed upon all the duties that comprise a given role. However, each employer and each educational institution can build its own job roles with any combination of duties, depending on its specific needs. Employers can select from a repository of industry duties that make, for example, a maintenance technician or CNC operator based on how the company assigns duties. Regardless of how employers build job roles, they are standardized because standardization is at the duty level.
