Lincoln Electric has announced a new partnership with Tooling U-SME, a provider of manufacturing training solutions. The move allows Lincoln to make its flagship welding curriculum platform (U/LINC) “even more user-friendly and accessible to welding instructors and educational institutions,” according to a news release.
The new partnership gives Tooling U-SME the authority to administer the U/LINC platform and provides access to industry and academia, as well as its competency-based learning and development solutions. Plans call for U/LINC to migrate over to Tooling U-SME this fall.
As part of the agreement, new and current U/LINC subscribers will receive additional support services and reporting capabilities. Tooling U-SME can also provide the U/LINC platform as part of its range of learning and development product offerings. Also, U/LINC curriculum materials will be integrated with some of the industry’s popular learning management systems, such as Blackboard, Moodle and more.
Developed by 35 of welding instructors, U/LINC contains more than 18,000 pages of curriculum resources including welding theory, practice and knowledge. Subscribers to U/LINC can search, download and print out lesson plans, class assignments, presentations, group-based activities and more with in-depth directions, tips and teaching strategies that leverage Lincoln Electric’s more than 100 years of welding training experience.
Working directly with thousands of companies—including more than half of all Fortune 500 manufacturers as well as 600 educational institutions across the country—Tooling U-SME helps to prepare today's workforce by providing industry-driven curriculum.
Existing U/LINC subscribers will still be able to access the U/LINC platform in its current form until the transition is completed in January 2020. For more information, visit education.lincolnelectric.com/ulinc.
