About The Project
NIMS intends to continue to be at the forefront of the manufacturing industry and its training needs. As part of this promise, NIMS holds itself to the standard of being a reflection of the industry it represents–one of innovation, efficiency, and sleekness. Currently, the NIMS testing platform is not properly equipped to be the future of the manufacturing industry NIMS and its candidates know.
The testing platform as it is today was developed in 2008 to meet the needs of the then-current credentialing process. Since then, NIMS has experienced enormous growth in the number of users that use its digital services, as well as the expansion of those services themselves. This project will consolidate the different channels through which NIMS reaches its audience, as well as restructure the site in a way that allows for continuous improvement in the future.
NIMS' leadership has made a commitment to raising nearly $450,000 to overhaul the website and its applications in order to be equipped with the infrastructure and tools needed to evolve as the industry does. Early partners in this project include the Gene Haas Foundation and the Arconic Foundation.
