Last week, leaders from across the state met at MAGNET in Cleveland for the Auto and Advanced Mobility Steering Committee meeting.

The agenda included several key developments, including:

• $9.37M of funding deployed for training equipment and regional support
• Updated user tools added to the Ohio Manufacturing Competency Model website
• Launch of working group focused on training justice-impacted individuals for manufacturing careers
• Launch of new partnership with the Ohio STEM Learning Network, expanding collaboration between industry and K-12 education

OMA members have multiple opportunities to engage with these initiatives, ranging from providing input on training needs and program decisions, to actively participating in developing new manufacturing curriculums. Members can also endorse the Ohio Manufacturing Competency Model and connecting with newly trained talent through the WorkAdvance program.
