GAINESVILLE, Fla., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meteor Education is proud to announce a new partnership with the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), joining NC3’s network of industry partners to help expand access to industry-recognized certifications to the secondary education market.

NC3 is the national leader in advancing career and technical education (CTE) through strong partnerships between education providers and industry. With a network of more than 2,000 education institutions and organizations, NC3 has supported 430,000+ students and delivered more than one million industry-driven, stackable certifications aligned to national skills standards.

Through this partnership, Meteor Education will play a unique role in extending NC3’s certification delivery into the secondary school market. By partnering directly with NC3 to expand professional development, Meteor Education will now support secondary schools in implementing and delivering select Festo certifications that employers value and recognize.

This approach helps bridge a critical gap between access to hands-on learning experiences and career readiness requirements, enabling districts to more effectively build and sustain high-quality, career-connected learning pathways that are grounded in their local economies.

“We’re seeing a clear shift, schools are being asked to deliver outcomes that extend well beyond the classroom,” said Bill Latham, CEO of Meteor Education. “What we hear consistently from our customers is that the difference between offering industry certifications and delivering them well comes down to how prepared and supported their instructors are. Schools want to do this right, and they need partners who can equip their educators at a high level. NC3 is head and shoulders above in this regard. Their commitment to training, preparation, and ongoing support for instructors is unmatched and gives schools the confidence to deliver certifications with real rigor and integrity. We’re privileged to be working with NC3 and excited to join them in this work.”

Meteor Education’s model of embedding expert educators into school systems will allow NC3 certifications to be delivered with greater consistency and scalability across the secondary market – supporting both instructors and students in achieving stronger outcomes.

“NC3 is thrilled to partner with Meteor Education to expand access to STEM, manufacturing, and automation certifications across the secondary education system. Additionally, their expertise in designing engaging and functional learning environments will be a tremendous asset to our network of schools,” said Craig Foucht, NC3 Director of Development. “Together, we’re empowering the next generation of learners with the skills, spaces, and certifications they need to succeed in the modern workforce.”

Together, Meteor Education and NC3 are strengthening the connection between education and industry by expanding access to high-quality certifications, supporting educators, and helping students gain the skills and credentials needed for college and career success, while contributing to the growth and vitality of their local economy.

  • Decarbonization is simply too expensive for APAC manufacturers, especially SMEs, to undertake alone.
  • Most decarbonization efforts today are still project-based.
  • Financial incentives present a real opportunity for decarbonization at scale.

The question comes up again and again: What should governments and industry stakeholders prioritize first for decarbonization?

As a fashion manufacturer based in Seoul, South Korea, I see how policy, financing, and implementation challenges come together in real time. In the APAC region, each country is taking a unique approach to a greener economy. These are encouraging signals, but manufacturers across the region are still facing major barriers to action.

As an Editorial Member of Cascale’s APAC Policy Member Expert Team, contributing specifically to the incentives agenda, I see a number of overlapping challenges. Fragmentation, limited interoperability, insufficient incentives, and underrepresentation of decent work issues – Cascale’s recent APAC Policy Priorities paper captures all of these issues.

Amid competing customer demands and faster turnaround times, there is little leeway for manufacturers to invest the time, energy, or resources to decarbonize their facilities. The reality is that decarbonization is simply too expensive for APAC manufacturers, especially SMEs, to tackle alone. For many SMEs, decarbonization is not a strategic choice but a financial constraint, where even well-intentioned efforts are limited by access to capital. That is exactly why incentives are critical.

Decarbonization is not a willingness issue. It is a financing issue.

Without a support mechanism such as loans or blended financing, companies cannot invest in renewable energy or low-carbon equipment.

This is one of the reasons why decarbonization incentives are a key priority in the APAC Policy Priorities Paper. The paper recognizes that many suppliers and SMEs face significant barriers due to high costs and limited access to finance, and calls for targeted support mechanisms, including subsidies, preferential financing, and investment in renewable energy and low-carbon technologies. The stated goal is to make the transition more practical, more scalable, and more inclusive across the supply chain.

Also, most decarbonization efforts today are still project-based. What we need is a system-based approach across the supply chain from now on. This is why we need to invest in expanding infrastructure, more coordinated support, and policy conditions that help solutions scale.

Incentives are also very critical. However, incentives without execution or without reliable data or without verified data are not enough on their own. We need a clear implementation framework to scale the incentives.

If I had to choose one action item for decarbonization, it would be linking financial incentives directly to the verified data. This could include preferential financing for facilities with verified emissions data, tax incentives tied to measurable reductions, or blended finance mechanisms that reduce upfront capital investment for renewable energy adoption. For example, factories with verified Scope 1 and 2 emissions data could access preferential financing rates or performance-based incentives tied to demonstrated reductions. This creates both accountability and motivation. Without such incentive mechanisms, scaling will be difficult.

If we want decarbonization to move faster across APAC, we need policies and financing approaches that reflect how manufacturers actually operate. That starts with making support accessible, practical, and tied to real progress.

EcoVadis recognition and SBTi validation reflect Technimark’s approach to driving growth, efficiency, and customer value through responsible business practices

ASHEBORO, N.C., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Technimark, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of custom, highly engineered injection-molded components for healthcare, consumer, and specialty industrial applications, has earned its second EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing the company among the top 2% of rated companies worldwide and in the top 1% of its industry.

EcoVadis, one of the world’s largest providers of business sustainability ratings, evaluates companies across environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Technimark’s results demonstrate steady progress in these areas – each of which plays a direct role in how the company operates, manages risk, and delivers value to customers.

“Sustainability is fundamental to how we operate and win. It is not a separate initiative – it is how we run the business,” said Brad Wellington, Chief Executive Officer of Technimark. “It improves efficiency and reduces risk, while also driving innovation across our teams and processes. Simply put, these are the decisions that make us a stronger and more competitive company.”

Over the past year, Technimark has continued to invest across its People, Planet, and Product priorities – strengthening employee engagement and safety, reducing energy use and waste, while also advancing innovation in more sustainable product design. These efforts are directly tied to business performance, helping improve productivity, lower costs, and reduce disruption across the company and its broader supply chain.

In late 2025, the company’s greenhouse gas reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For Technimark, this work is as much about operational discipline as environmental impact — reducing energy intensity, mitigating climate-related risks, and helping customers lower the footprint of their products.

“This recognition reflects a disciplined, performance-driven approach to sustainability,” said Katie Distler, Technimark’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “We focus on the areas that materially impact performance — energy, supply chain, product design, and how we support our people. The result is better execution, stronger partnerships with our customers and suppliers, and a more resilient operation.”

Technimark continues to earn “Best in Class” distinctions from customers, reflecting how its approach to responsible business practices drives stronger performance and a more effective operating model – creating a clear competitive advantage in the markets it serves.
