Beyond High School

Here's a list of programs that you should consider if you're interested in this career:

Education Level

Education training and experience are required at different levels for success in different occupations.

Bachelor's degree or higher, plus work experience

Employers prefer managers have at least a bachelor's degree. Common fields of degree for these workers include business or engineering. Sometimes, production workers with many years of experience take management classes and become a production manager. At large plants, where managers have more oversight responsibilities, employers may look for managers who have a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a graduate degree in industrial management.

Extra Requirements

While not required, industrial production managers can earn certifications that show a higher level of competency in quality or management systems. The Association for Supply Chain Management offers a Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM) credential. The American Society for Quality offers credentials in quality control. Both certifications require specific amounts of work experience before applying for the credential, so they are generally not earned before entering the occupation.
