This report looks at how a community-based organization, focusing on the metalworking industry, has created a set of training programs and other services geared to both employees and employers. In addition, the organization collaborates with industry associations, government and other training providers to ensure high skill standards and to increase public and private commitment to worker training and related issues. This publication is part of the Sectoral Case Study Series, which offers an in-depth look at six sectoral employment programs and how they impact both clients and the industry in which they operate.
