SMT currently works with schools in nineteen states and several countries.

Scientific Management Techniques (SMT) has been effectively solving the industrial skills shortage for many years working with manufacturers across a wide variety of industrial platforms. Currently, demand for our solution in formal education is growing rapidly as schools work with manufacturers to identify and deploy an effective solution to the skills shortage.

When these programs are deployed in education, all skill stakeholders benefit; the manufacturer has the opportunity to hire the skills required to optimize performance, the program graduate is on a promising career path and demand for the services provided by each school increases.

The growing nationwide skills gap in the manufacturing field is being clearly seen and felt in Delaware. Polytech Adult Education has been able to help meet this need through the creation of the Delaware Manufacturing Development Center (DMDC). This would not have been possible without the partnership with Scientific Management Techniques (SMT).

Based on the proven success to date in the locations where our schools have implemented SMT’s programs we are recommending statewide deployment.
