The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) has redeveloped its on-demand Workforce Training Series. The redeveloped courses have been modernized to make them more accessible with updated materials to incorporate new and emerging technological advances.

“These programs are AGMA’s most downloaded courses, so we want to make sure that the Workforce Training Series continues to be the best resource for members to train their new employees on the basics of gear manufacturing,” said Leah Lewis, Director, Meetings & Events, AGMA. “More than 350 people take these courses per year and as technology changes, we need to make sure that these popular classes reflect the latest information and are delivered in an efficient and meaningful way.”

The Workforce Training Series consists of the following three courses:

• Fundamentals of Gearing
• Fundamentals of Hobbing
• Parallel Gear Inspection

New, high-quality diagrams, schematics, photos, videos and more have been added to the courses to better illustrate the curriculum. AGMA members can access the newly redeveloped workforce training series at any time at no cost; the courses are included within AGMA membership.

“We often hear from members that workforce development is one of their greatest challenges,” added Lewis. “These courses are included with AGMA membership, so companies can have their employees learn some of the basics of gearing at no additional cost, creating a great value and ROI.”
