Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in State Fair Community College’s Manufacturing Production Technician (MPT) Skills Certificate. The MPT program prepares students to enter into production employment with a solid understanding of manufacturing processes. The certificate is comprised of four 3-credit hour courses and 4 credit hour electives, for a total of 16 credit hours. Those courses are as follows:
Safety, Quality Practices and Measurement, Manufacturing Processes and Production,
Maintenance Awareness, and select from the following electives: Mach 101, Weld 101, SS 114 or SS 120.
Students who successfully complete will earn the MPT Skills Certificate.
The purpose of the CPTAE is to recognize individuals who demonstrate mastery of the core competencies of manufacturing production at the front-line level (entry-level through front-line supervisor) through successful completion of the certification assessments in each module. The goal of the CPTAE program is to raise the level of the performance of production workers, both to assist individuals in finding higher-wage jobs and to help employers ensure their workforce increases the company’s productivity and competitiveness.
By passing an MSSC assessment in each course the student can earn an MSSC certificate. Successful completion of all four assessments earns the student the CPTAE. The CPTAE is recognized by the National Association of Manufacturers.

Participant Guidance:
MoManufacturingWINs is required to serve a target population that includes Trade Adjustment Assistance eligible participants, unemployed participants, underemployed participants, and low skilled participants. There is flexibility to include a broad spectrum of individuals (as participants) from varied socioeconomic backgrounds for training purposes.

Target Populations
MoManufacturingWINs training programs must give priority for training to the following target population participants:

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
An individual who has lost his or her job, through no fault of their own (due to lack of work), as a result of foreign trade. State merit staff (DOLR & DWD) administers this program and determines individual Trade eligibility.

Unemployed
An individual who has been terminated or laid off or has received a notice of termination or layoff; employed at a facility at which the employer has made a general announcement the facility will close within 180 days; self-employed (including employment as a farmer, a rancher or a fisherman) but unemployed as a result of general economic conditions or natural disasters; and a displaced homemaker.
Underemployed
An individual who is working part-time but desires full-time employment or is working in employment not commensurate with the individual’s demonstrated level of educational and/or skill achievement. The local Workforce Investment Board negotiated average earnings target wage should be referenced to aid in eligibility determination.

Low-Skilled 
An individual will be required to demonstrate college readiness for placement into college level coursework, (typically coursework numbered 100 level or above) as defined in the chart below. Individuals scoring below the designated cut-off score for any area will be defined as “Low-Skilled” for the purposes of MoManufacturingWINs eligibility.

Other Grant Participant Specifications
Veterans Priority
The Jobs for Veterans Act (Pub. L. 107-288) requires priority of service to veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the receipt of employment, training, and placement services in any job training program directly funded, in whole or in part, by DOL. The regulations implementing this priority of service can be found at 20 CFR part1010. In circumstances where a grant recipient must choose between two qualified candidates for training or a service, one of whom is a veteran or eligible spouse, the Veterans Priority of Service provisions require that the grant recipient give the veteran or eligible spouse priority of service by admitting him or her into the training program or providing service. To obtain priority of service a veteran or spouse must meet the program’s eligibility requirements. Grantees must comply with DOL guidance on veterans’ priority.

The community colleges have all agreed to a set of common cut-off scores. Such cut-off scores should serve as the starting point for the definition of "Low Skilled" for credit seeking participants.  An entering student who is deficient in one or more areas will be defined as "Low Skilled."

Missouri Community College Readiness Standards

Missouri community colleges have developed a common standard for college readiness. All Missouri community college students will be required to demonstrate college readiness for placement into college level coursework (typically coursework numbered 100 level or above) as defined in the chart below using ACT scores as noted. Concordant scores in other placement tests, as indicated below, may also be used for students who do not present an ACT score.

Points considered when determining common placement scores include:
•	The adopted college readiness standard must be based on research and best practice.
•	The standard must align with other placement testing tools.
•	Consideration should be given to the approach other states took in adopting a statewide standard.

In its review of ACT based college readiness materials and publications, and in consultation with ACT staff and researchers, community colleges believe these common core standards will promote student success, provide access to college and support student learning.
 	ACT	COMPASS	ASSET	SAT	
Writing	18	70	41	Critical Reading 450	
Reading	18	81	41	Critical Reading 460	
Algebra	23	66	41	    Math                   460	

Scores below these standards will result in development coursework.
