The Go To Guide for Training New Jersey Manufacturer’s Employees

New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP) serves as trusted business advisors and technical experts to New Jersey manufacturing companies. NJMEP has helped thousands of manufacturers improve operations, increase profits, create or maintain jobs, and establish a foundation for long-term business growth and productivity. Since Year 2000, NJMEP has worked with thousands of manufacturers leading to more than $2.8 billion in increased/retained sales, $390 million in process improvement savings, $672 million in capital investments and helped create and retain more than 33,632 jobs. NJMEP has helped manufacturers realize more than $3.8 billion in value.

INTRODUCTION

If you want to find a new car, a new restaurant, or new technology for your office, there are resources you can count on to help make the job easier. Until now, New Jersey has not had a single source at its disposal to provide locations in assisting manufacturers to train their employees. However, State, county and even local governments have their own resources (as do private entities), and NJMEP seeks to fill the need for New Jersey Manufacturers with this Guide.

HOW TO USE THE EDUCTATIONAL RESOURCE DIRECTORY

NJMEP has done the research and contacted key training resources in New Jersey to determine primary contacts. For example, if you are looking to train high school graduates we suggest starting with the “County College” section, (many of their related offerings are included in the “County College Degree and Certificate Sections”) In other instances, if you are seeking basic skills training you can look in the “Vo-Tech” section, or if a specific or unique background is required you can go directly to the “WDB” (Work Force Development Board / One Stop Center).

We understand that some training needs are more complicated as they involve employees from multiple sites or counties, or custom programs may be required for a large group. NJMEP Is here to help. Please contact our Community Relations Manager Constantina Meis, [email protected] for any further assistance.
