Medina County Certified Production Technician Program

The Medina County Career Center, Medina Works and The Medina County University Center joined together to bring The Certified Production Technician Program (CPT) to the workforce of Medina County.

CPT: Certificates are awarded through The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) to individuals who pass any of its four Production modules: Safety; Quality Practices & Measurement; Manufacturing Processes & Production; and Maintenance Awareness and a full Certified Production Technician (CPT) Certification to those who pass all four. 

The MSSC is an industry-led standards-based, training, assessment and certification system focused on the core skills and knowledge needed by the nation’s production and supply chain logistics workers. The nationwide MSSC System, based upon industry-defined and federally-endorsed national standards, offers both entry-level and incumbent workers the opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills increasingly needed in the high-growth, technology-intensive jobs of the 21st century. Applicable to all sectors of manufacturing, the MSSC goal is to assess 40% of the nation’s entry-level and incumbent production workforce—a strategy for providing industry with a future pipeline of skilled workers.

The following modules encompass the CPT Program:

• Safety
• Quality Practices & Measurement
• Manufacturing Processes & Production
• Maintenance Awareness
