CAMT Skill Standard

The CAMT skill standards were developed with input from industry experts in order to challenge and define the elements of work and skills that are common among these industries. For workers, the standards increase opportunities to transfer job skills and expand career opportunities because the standards are applicable to companies of all sizes and geographic locations. For employers, the standards provide a benchmark for evaluating and improving their work process. NAAEI invites you to integrate the skill standards into your own training, learning and employee development programs.
