Does MSSC Training matter to companies?

Absolutely! This is what James McCaslin, Vice President COO, of Harley-Davidson Motor Company, had to say…

“My training experts at Harley have high regard for the MSSC. We have already put more than 150 of our workers through MSSC assessments and are using those results to guide our training priorities. We offer tuition reimbursement for MSSC courses and take MSSC certification into account in hiring decisions.”
