Battelle Education, in partnership with Ohio STEM Learning Network and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, is funding up to $1.85 million for 10 Ohio public schools to create or expand programs that prepare high school students for manufacturing careers. Eligible programs focus on hands-on training, industry-recognized credentials, and classroom instruction aligned with industry needs.

To be considered, schools must submit a proposal that includes an industry partner, making manufacturers essential collaborators. By partnering, manufacturers can ensure students in these programs are gaining the skills needed for in-demand manufacturing roles.

An informational session will be held virtually on Jan. 13. Proposals are due Feb. 3. Learn more or contact Stephanie Johnson. 1/9/2024
