Veryable is partnering with Tooling U-SME to bring industry-leading workforce training to Indiana, strengthening the pipeline of skilled, credentialed manufacturing talent that businesses on the Veryable platform can draw from.

Tooling U-SME is the workforce development division of SME, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, backed by over a century of manufacturing industry expertise.

With over 600 online classes alongside instructor-led training, virtual labs, certifications, and apprenticeships, workers have a complete path from foundational skills to advanced, industry-recognized credentials.

Their training spans the full range of in-demand manufacturing roles, including:

  • CNC
  • Composites Processing
  • Electrical
  • Electric Motor
  • GD&T
  • Hydraulic
  • IIoT
  • Machining
  • Maintenance
  • Metal Cutting
  • PLC
  • Pneumatic
  • Precise Measurement
  • Press Brake
  • Quality Inspection
  • Robotics
  • Smart Manufacturing
  • Welding

The outcomes data is strong: 97% of Tooling U-SME customers say the training helped them increase productivity, and 98% say it improved their skills and knowledge.

Through this partnership, Veryable Operators can access Tooling U-SME's training on their own, investing in credentials that make them more competitive on the platform. As more Veryable Operators complete Tooling U-SME programs, the depth and quality of available talent on the platform improves across the board.

Tooling U-SME's Training Packages are alos worth a close look for manufacturers thinking more broadly about workforce development. They create a full learning roadmap for a given role, from new hires to incumbent workers looking to advance, with most job roles completable within one year. It's training infrastructure that fits how a manufacturing operation actually runs.
