Pre-Employment Training

The Machinists Institute offers pre-employment training to increase the availability of quality job candidates.

This saves time for employers because the people who graduate from our pre-employment training programs have the skills and work habits that make it easy to hire and get them working.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) the average cost per new hire is $4,129 and it takes an average of 42 days to fill a position.

If you’re struggling to find job candidates with the right habits, attitude, and skills for your business, reach out to learn about our ongoing pre-employment training programs. Here’s how it works:

  • Our team will help you identify the ideal skills and work habits you need in new hires.

  • Connect with a pipeline of qualified program graduates to hire.

  • Your new hires get right to work because they have the basic skills and good habits to be ready for employment and training.
