March 7, 2023 – Kansas City, Missouri – There is a new name in the workforce skills development and training industry: WorkForge. Kansas City, Missouri-based Valor Manufacturing Training with investment support from the BERKS Investment Group acquired Indianapolis-based 180 Skills in December of 2021. Throughout 2022, the companies worked toward joining both Valor and 180 Skills into a single entity, offering enhanced products, services, and support of the two. Today that becomes a reality.

In a note to current client/partners, Chief Executive Officer, Nathan Walts stated, “Our daily focus is to provide engaging and sustainable workforce development solutions for manufacturers and educational partners.
