The Importance of SCORM with Increased Industrial Hiring

With industrial equipment and technology constantly changing, training has become vital to ensure your plant is properly operated and maintained. As an industry leader in providing industrial training skills, we understand that finding the proper material to effectively train your workforce and target each of their specific needs can be a daunting task. Computer industrial training must not only be the best quality content possible but it also needs to be affordable and accessible from anywhere. And today, SCORM (or Shareable Content Object Reference Model) makes delivering training skills such as control training, process training, boiler training and much more easy and cost-effective. SCORM helps consistently provide industrial training materials in a standardized format. SCORM assists in maintaining an interoperable and reusable web-based eLearning system for your online courseware.

SCORM is all the more critical as more and more agencies are beginning to hire. For example, the head of Bombardier Business Air says they plan to expand the company’s Learjet site located in Wichita and create almost 450 new jobs over the next seven to ten years. The news of expansion from one Learjet manufacturer comes with a sigh of relief for many Kansas industrial workers, as The Boeing Co. announce last week they plan to shut down their facilities in Wichita by the end of 2013.

Tennessee also received good news in Clinton when Magna International Inc. announced they are planning a $64 million expansion to be implemented over the next five years. The expansion for the automotive parts supplier hopes to add 188 jobs in their facility. New jobs will include assembly and press operators as well as laser operators and maintenance professionals. Also in Chicago, Illinois the freight company Coyote Logistics announced its plan to create 400 new jobs this year in their facility.

As companies regain confidence to hire and create industrial jobs they also have the chance to safeguard the future or their plant’s performance by employing an industrial skills training program that is both effective and user friendly. And SCORM based online courseware is just that. There is a great training opportunity with new hires and even current employees, take advantage and utilize industrial training skills that will advance your business.
