SME SPEAKS
demonstrating what Canada is capable of, we can build the much-needed momentum to compete globally. In achieving our second stage, the third becomes about
relationships. An example of this is trade missions to other countries. By making our products, skills and developments available throughout the globe, Canada can redefine its role on an international level. Currently, Canada Makes, a CME initiative, is working with
SME to offer its Additive Manufacturing Certificate Program. This type of certification will help Canadian industry recognize a workers’ proficiency in delivering products using additive manufacturing. Canada Makes and Mohawk College are in partnership to develop training that will allow participants to receive this certification in Canada. To stay successful through tumultuous economic times,
measures taken by industry must ensure that the world recog- nizes the value of investing in Canada. With the Canadian dollar at its lowest rate in many years, plenty of opportunities exist for Canadian manufacturers. Exporting should be rife for expan- sion, especially in the US market. As the global markets begin to consider Canadian imports, exporters need to be knocking on their doors showcasing their world-class products.
