4 Steps to Success
MAREK Mechanic Qualified
This program is designed to accelerate the proficiency of employees in becoming safe, productive, and qualified mechanics, to provide coaching on tasks deemed critical to the trade, to provide direction and guidance to employees in determining their career goals, and to provide a means to evaluate employees for the purpose of identifying potential future leaders.
NCCER Knowledge Verified
NCCER’s National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP) evaluates the knowledge of an individual in a specific craft area and provides a prescription for upgrade training when needed. All assessments are based upon the NCCER Curriculum and have been developed in conjunction with Subject Matter Experts from the industry and provide MAREK craft professionals with an industry standard credential.
MAREK Coach Qualified
All MAREK OJT coaches and field supervisors acquire the Coach Qualified credential. This credential verifies that leaders in our organization possess the tools required to effectively mentor new craft professionals. Workers who are taught by an effective program of structured OJT coupled with good coaching can be expected to learn more quickly, and to exhibit less variability in task performance.
MAREK Certified Professional
MAREK developed the MAREK Certified Professional Program in order to identify and recognize our most skillful and productive mechanics and to provide a clear career path for those who wish to advance their careers. MAREK MCP’s are recognized throughout the organization as having attained the highest credential offered to the workforce and is considered the “gold standard” of recognition for our craft professionals.
Join the Gold Hard Hat Family
Join a winning team of committed craft professionals, many of whom have been part of the MAREK family for more than 10 years and wear the MAREK gold hard hat.
Whether you are an experienced craftsperson, a hands-on worker interested in learning a trade from the ground up, or exploring a career change to the growing construction industry — MAREK's craft training provides opportunities for craft certification and promotion to field supervisory, safety and training leadership roles.
