Al Dill, President of Blackfox Training Institute commented that, “There isa huge shortage of skilled workers to fill the demand in ElectronicsManufacturing. The Staffing Industry, in general, has long struggled withproviding Electronics Manufacturing with the right person with the right skillsat the right time. The typical staffing company claims to have the ability tostaff individuals in any industry and in any job position. The Myth is thatthey have the ability to screen, assess, and train individuals in all facets ofelectronic manufacturing before they are placed. The truth is that training andcertification are not their core competencies and they need a specialist suchas Blackfox to provide that service. Blackfox has provided this service toother staffing firms in the past, but has been challenged to keep them focusedon the requirements of Electronic Manufacturers, due to distractions to fillthe needs of every other industry. We found them to be generalists in allindustries and specialists in none. The technologies in this industry areforever advancing and require the service providers to be abreast of the skillsets required to succeed. This all changed when Blackfox met ResourceMFG, amanufacturing only staffing firm. RMFG is focused and has the support staffthat is knowledgeable and understands the needs of electronicsmanufacturers.”

ResourceMFG and Blackfox Training Institute opened a specialized electronicstraining and placement branch on June 5th, 2007. This branch is unique as it isa ResourceMFG branch (specializing in one manufacturing industry, electronics)with a training center (run by Blackfox on the premises.)

Blackfox is an IPCApproved Training and Certification Center, one of four in the world authorizedto train and certify to all standards.
