Dear Mr. Wortell:
We want to acknowledge and compliment the National Institute for
Metalworking Skills, Inc. (NIMS) for the program of skill standards
you developed for the metalworking industry. In our region, where
metalworking is a significant economic sector, we recognize the
importance of identifying and developing needed worker skills. We
appreciate the partnership that has evolved with our Great Lakes
states and your organization in support of efforts to implement
state-of-the-art programs to continuously improve our workforce.
We are pleased to inform you that occupational credentials issued
by NIMS, any Great Lakes state, or state approved program using
the NIMS skill standards will be recognized in all Great Lakes states.
Industry-developed standards are recognized under the Great Lakes
Guarantee in our effort to ensure the quality and portability of
occupational credentials within the Great Lakes Region.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with NIMS and its
member organizations.
Sincerely,
