Abstract:	In recent years the world of Metrology has seen a decline in the availability of trained and experienced Metrologists in the job market. This is mainly due to the U.S. Armed Forces reducing the number of technicians being trained to calibrate M&TE. There is an increased demand for documented Metrologist Qualifications stemming from more stringent Quality Program requirements. Although there has been an increase in the number of public sector schools for Metrology training, there aren’t enough technicians to cover the void left by the reduction of U.S. Military Metrology training. One solution to these problems is to develop an in-house Metrology training program. A Metrologist Training Program has an added intangible effect of boosting technician morale. The technician can see a clear and concise path to becoming a trained, experienced journeyman.
