The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) is partnering with New Century Careers, and hosted by Catalyst Connections, this FREE training seminar that manufacturers will not want to miss!
Building a skilled workforce requires more than effective onboarding. Join us on December 4, 2026 for Beyond Onboarding: Building Mission-Critical Skills, an employer-focused discussion on practical approaches to workforce training and skill development.
The event will feature Montez King, Executive Director of NIMS, who will share insights on how employers can develop job proficiency faster, strengthen workforce performance, and build effective training programs that support business growth.
Employers will learn about:
• Effective On-the-Job Training (OJT) strategies
• Reducing time-to-proficiency for new employees
• Identifying and addressing skill gaps
• Tracking workforce skill development and performance
• Available workforce development resources and funding opportunities
Hiring talent is only part of the challenge. The real opportunity is helping employees move beyond onboarding and develop the skills needed to contribute at a higher level.
We invite you to join us for Beyond Onboarding: Building Mission-Critical Skills, an interactive employer event focused on practical approaches to workforce training and skill development.

Why This Matters
- Many organizations invest in onboarding, but struggle to build strong foundational training

- Effective workforce development must occur where work happens on the production floor and within daily operations.
- Optimized OJT accelerates skill development and business performance.
Building Skills. Creating Opportunities. Strengthening Manufacturing.
