As the composites industry continues to grow, so does the need for a skilled, confident, and well-trained workforce. One of the biggest barriers to effective training, however, isn’t a lack of interest or ability—it’s access. That’s why expanding educational resources to meet learners where they are, including in their preferred language, is more important than ever.
ACMA proudly offers Spanish-language digital editions of some of our most in-demand training resources, helping make high-quality composites education more accessible to a broader segment of the workforce.
For many manufacturers, Spanish-speaking technicians, students, and supervisors play a critical role in daily operations. This means that providing training materials in Spanish isn’t just a convenience, it’s a practical step toward improving comprehension, safety, consistency, and performance across the organization.
These digital guides are available through ACMA’s Education Hub or through licensing options that allow organizations to integrate trusted composites education directly into their own onboarding and training programs. Licensed resources can be tailored to support specific onboarding and training needs and scaled across multiple locations, helping employers deliver consistent, high-quality education to teams regardless of role or location.

Tips for Keeping Training Information Accessible for Your Staff
When developing or evaluating training programs, organizations should keep the following best practices in mind:
- Offer materials in multiple languages when possible to ensure critical information is clearly understood by all employees
- Use plain, clear language and avoid unnecessary jargon that can create confusion—especially for newer workers
- Make training mobile-friendly, allowing employees to access content on the shop floor, at home, or on the go
- Reinforce learning with visuals, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions to support different learning styles
- Break content into manageable sections so employees can learn in short, focused sessions
- Ensure alignment with current industry standards to maintain credibility and consistency across teams
- Gather feedback from employees to identify gaps in understanding and improve future training efforts
Whether training happens in the plant, in the classroom, or remotely, accessible education helps employees feel more confident, capable, and engaged.
