Stronger Together: Why Workforce Organizations Partner With HMA
Industry Driven Training
Skip the build-from-scratch. HMA brings integrated certification and career-readiness training co-delivered with local community and technical colleges — including industry-recognized credentials like the Certified Production Technician, Certified Logistics Technician, OSHA 10, and Airframe and Powerplant, plus hands-on simulation. The curriculum is nationally portable and locally recognized, so your organization can stand up high-demand manufacturing pathways fast.
Military to Manufacturing Events
Training only matters if it leads to jobs. HMA connects your participants to a coast-to-coast network of manufacturers through Military-to-Manufacturing career fairs, employer spotlights, facility tours, and the HMA Talent Network — turning your programs into measurable placement outcomes instead of certificates that sit on a shelf.
Military Skills Translation
HMA’s Manufacturing Readiness Badges translate military experience into civilian, skills-based competencies employers immediately recognize.
A National Convener Worth Joining
Backed by the Manufacturing Institute and the NAM — and supported by sponsors like Johnson & Johnson, GE Aerospace, and General Motors — HMA convenes manufacturers, educators, workforce systems, and Veteran Serving Organizations around skills-first hiring. Partners share best-practice playbooks and grant-supported infrastructure, and training is offered at no cost to participants, extending your reach without stretching your budget.
