Automation Is A Great Opportunity.

Automation is taking over manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, banking, retail, logistics, and many other areas by storm. While many jobs are being replaced by automation, there’s a whole new world of higher paying jobs opening up for workers who are willing to put in the effort to add value in this new world.

Unfortunately, people who would love to make a step up into these types of work don’t have the skills which they need to have to fill high-demand and high-paying job openings. Those needed skills are many and include both hard skills and soft skills. 

This is where NCLab can help.

We begin with a very detailed free Career Readiness Assessment that identifies people who are able to learn and apply new knowledge and have the desire and perseverance to grow. For the people who can, we provide in-depth learn-by-doing training programs that closely parallel an unpaid apprenticeship and provide them with hands-on EXPERIENCE that job openings require. 

Following are short descriptions of those training programs.

“Automation Technician Training”

At a time when employers have a huge need for employees with automation-related skills, they are finding that dislocated and underemployed people who would love to step up into automation-related jobs don’t possess the foundational automation hard and soft skills that they need them to have.

The latest 2021 report by the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte estimates that in manufacturing alone, there will be 2.1 million jobs that will go unfilled over the next ten years because of the lack of automation-related skills in the labor force.

In as little as 2 months, trainees of this training program master foundational Industry 4.0 automation-related hard skills that include workplace math, working with data, machine programming (and Introduction to CNC, Introduction to CAD, and blueprint reading, as electives); they are the hard skills that employers want new hires to have.

They also learn foundational soft skills that include, among others, problem solving, critical and logical thinking, professional communication, time management, perseverance, and adaptability that they will need to have throughout their working life.

Upon completing the program, trainees have shown that they are able to learn and apply new knowledge that their new jobs will require and they have acquired the hard and soft skills needed to be very effective Automation Technicians. Graduates are also fully prepared to pass industry-recognized certifications, including ACT’s Workkeys NCRC (National Career Readiness Certificate) and TOSA’s spreadsheet certification exams.

“Data Analyst Career Training”

At a time when virtually all enterprises have now reached “data overload” and need Data Analysts to help them make sense of the massive amounts of data so that management can more informed decisions, NCLab’s in-depth Data Analyst Career Training program makes it possible for individuals to land high-pay Data Analyst jobs. 

Whether it be market research, sales figures, logistics, or transportation costs, every enterprise collects data. Data Analysts take that data and convert it into information that helps management make better and faster business decisions, such as how to price new materials, how to reduce transportation costs, or how to deal with issues that cost the enterprise money.

While many Data Analyst training programs are targeted at individuals with a strong math background, prior programming experience, and/or a certain level of formal education, this Data Analyst career training program is unique in the way its prerequisites are trainees’ ability to learn, their motivation, and their willingness to work hard, rather than their prior knowledge. That is only possible because the training incorporates foundational training for people who need to start there, at no additional cost.

In as little as 2 months, trainees become capable entry level Data Analysts, with a professional portfolio to demonstrate their qualifications to potential employers. In as little as an additional 2 months, they can be ready to take Comptia’s DATA+ industry-recognized certification exam.

Because training is self-paced and individualized to trainees’ schedules, they are able to build a consistent training routine with their coach that does not interfere with their work and family commitments. When trainees graduate, they have the knowledge, practical experience, competency, and confidence to get great jobs. 

“Python  Developer Career Training”

At a time when indeed.com lists over 87,000 unfilled Python Programmer positions in the U.S., NCLab’s in-depth Python Developer career training program makes it possible for individuals to land high-pay Python Programmer jobs. 

Python is the most popular programming language for applications in Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Business, Finance, and other areas. Big players like Quora, Facebook, YouTube, SlideShare, Dropbox, Pinterest, Reddit, and Netflix have most of their new code written in Python.

While many Python programming training programs are targeted at individuals with a strong math background, prior programming experience, and/or a certain level of formal education, this Python Developer career training program is unique in the way its prerequisites are trainees’ ability to learn, their motivation, and their willingness to work hard, rather than their prior knowledge.

When trainees graduate, they have the knowledge, practical experience, competency, and confidence to get great jobs. They have a professional portfolio to demonstrate their qualifications to potential employers and they also fully prepared to take the Python Institute’s industry-recognized PCEP certification exam.

“Computational Literacy For Modern Careers”

Automation is taking over manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, banking, retail establishments, logistics, and many other areas by storm. Tasks which traditionally were done by people are now being done by machines. But machines think differently than people, and one needs to develop a specific mindset in order to deal with them successfully. This is called Computational Literacy.

You may have heard about Computer Literacy. This is a set of skills which includes things like using Internet and email, utilizing passwords, protecting your data, etc. Computational Literacy goes one step further. It is about using computers and computing to solve problems. Computational Literacy is a combination of simple logic, common sense, problem solving, attention to detail, and perseverance. Computational Literacy can be learned, just like reading, writing, and using multiplication tables.

In the NCLab Computational Literacy For Modern Careers course, trainees develop computational literacy skills by using a virtual robot to solve various simple tasks. In this way they learn essential skills such as how to identify repeating patterns and how to break complex problems into simpler ones.

Trainees need approximately 60 hands-on hours to complete this program. Because training is self-paced and individualized to trainees’ schedules, they are able to build a consistent training routine with their coach that does not interfere with their work and family commitments.

Upon completing the program, graduates possess the mindset and skills needed to successfully deal with automation and intelligent machines.
