NCLab Products Are All About Results.

Great results don’t just happen. We understand that we can only get the results we expect if we start with the right ingredients. In our case, as a training company, those ingredients are the people who are being accepted into our training programs. That effort is followed by very active hands-on work to get to the end product, which are people with valuable skills helping to make your enterprise more successful.

Our First Ingredient — Assessment.

We have a powerful Career Readiness Assessment that identifies people who are able to learn and apply new knowledge and have perseverance; it’s radically different from traditional assessments that measure existing knowledge without considering the attributes necessary for people to be able to grow. With the assessment, you can identify recruits and existing employees who have those right attributes.

Our Second Ingredient — Skills Training.

We provide hard and soft skills training for people who you want to and are able to grow. Our training follows an unpaid apprenticeship model in giving trainees work experience, so that our graduates can hit the deck running.

Our training is very different from traditional lecture-based training because it’s all active learning by doing, with the NCLab AI-based teaching platform providing bite-sized knowledge that is followed by large numbers of mini projects, during which the platform watches trainees’ every step and helps them in real time with contextual help, hints, and templates, as needed; and because learning is competency-based, trainees have to demonstrate that they have mastered each topic before going on to the next one.

At the same time as trainees are learning hard skills, they are also learning important soft skills, which include among others, the ability to problem solve, to pay attention to detail, to communicate effectively, to think critically, to use logic so as to make correct decisions, to plan ahead so as to do it right the first time, to persevere, to learn from failure, and to adapt to changing conditions.

All of our trainees receive Individualized coaching and instructional support throughout their training and they love this approach to learning because they are never alone and, as they progress, they have a feeling of accomplishment when they complete each of their mini projects.

Following are short descriptions of full career training programs and individual courses which NCLab offers.

“Automation Technician Career Training”

Automation is taking over many industries by storm. As 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 do not have the skills that they need to have. Those needed skills are many and include both hard skills and people skills.

In as little as 2 months, trainees of this training program master foundational automation-related hard skills that include workplace math, working with data, machine programming, spatial reasoning (and Blueprint Reading, Introduction to CNC, Introduction to Electricity, Introduction to Hydraulics, and Introduction to Mechanics, as electives); they are the hard skills that you need them to have.

They also learn foundational soft skills that include problem solving, attention to detail, critical and logical thinking, perseverance, professional communication, time management, and adaptability that you expect them to have.

Upon completing the program, trainees have shown that they are able to learn and apply new knowledge that their jobs require and they’ve acquired the foundational automation hard and soft skills needed to be 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”

If you’ve reached “data overload” and need Data Analysts to help you make sense of the massive amounts of data so that you can make better and faster decisions, our Data Analyst career training program is your ticket.

Whether it be market research, sales figures, logistics, or transportation costs, every business collects data. In as little as 4 months, trainees become capable Data Analysts who take that data and convert it into information that helps you make more informed business decisions, such as how to price new materials, how to reduce transportation costs, or how to deal with issues that cost the company 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 about trainees’ ability to learn, their motivation, and their willingness to work hard, rather than their prior knowledge. That is only possible because our training incorporates foundational training for people who need to start there, at no additional cost.
