StrataSkills from StrataTech Offers B2B Solutions for Skilled Labor Training
The Skills Gap Solution: A Customizable Approach
StrataTech's approach is unique in its flexibility. StrataSkills programs are customizable to meet each company’s needs. Metkiff uses a cooking analogy to explain their methodology: think of their accredited programs as ingredients in a pantry. For B2B clients, StrataSkills can take these ingredients and combine them in ways that precisely match each company's needs. This can mean integrating existing content with client materials or creating an entirely new custom curriculum.
This adaptability has attracted major corporations like Amazon, which partners with StrataSkills to upskill warehouse workers through their Career Choice program. The program provides foundational training in welding, electrical, and HVAC skills, offering employees new career pathways while helping Amazon build its skilled workforce from within.
StrataSkills offers three training delivery methods to meet varied client needs:
1. On-site Training: Utilizing five physical locations across the country, complete with state-of-the-art labs and expert instructors.
2. Mobile Training: StrataSkills brings the training to client locations, allowing workers to learn on their own equipment. For example, StrataSkills MobileWeld units bring welding certification training and testing to businesses directly.
3. Hybrid Learning: Combining virtual theory instruction with hands-on practical training, enhanced by cutting-edge VR technology. Hybrid learning can provide real-time feedback while reducing costs. Students receive an Oculus Quest 2 headset as part of the gear kit.
The program's innovative use of virtual reality, particularly in welding training, has proven especially effective. Using OcuWeld VR systems, students can practice complex techniques without consuming materials, receiving real-time feedback that accelerates their learning curve.
Skilled labor training is not a one-size-fits all proposition. And while several specializations exist, proper training requires a comprehensive workforce solution. StrataSkills offers that solution, structuring its approach around four key pillars:
1. Recruit: With a 92% placement rate (far exceeding the 70% regulatory requirement), StrataSkills helps companies find qualified personnel for critical roles.
2. Train: Provides comprehensive training programs that ensure workers meet all necessary certifications and compliance requirements across multiple states.
3. Retrain: Offers programs to upskill existing employees, helping companies retain valuable team members while meeting evolving technological demands.
4. Retain: Supports employee retention by creating clear career development paths, which has proven more effective at keeping talent than mere wage increases.
A Comprehensive Workforce Solution
In an era where skilled labor shortages threaten productivity across industries, StrataSkills offers a comprehensive solution that goes beyond basic training. Their customizable programs, multiple delivery methods, and focus on future technologies make them a valuable partner for companies looking to build and maintain a skilled workforce.
As CEO Mary Kelly emphasizes, StrataTech is "in business to improve the lives of others." This mission translates into tangible results for client companies: a more skilled workforce, higher retention rates, and the ability to stay competitive in an increasingly technical industrial landscape.
For companies facing skilled labor challenges, StrataSkills offers not just a training program, but a partnership in building a sustainable, skilled workforce for the future. Learn how StrataSkills can help your business build for the future at StrataSkills.com.

Three Delivery Models for Maximum Impact
While StrataTech’s school began 75 years ago with welding training, the organization has evolved alongside industry needs. Today, they're expanding into automation, mechatronics, and robotics, ensuring clients stay ahead of technological advances.
"We're moving into automation, mechatronics, robotics," Metkiff notes. "There's going to be more on the automation side of things - the technology-enabled skilled trade work. It's just the reality of our world."
