At this week’s 2024 All Ohio Conference in Columbus, hosted by the Ohio Association of Career and Technical Education, OMA staff presented on how the Ohio Manufacturing Competency Model is helping to ensure that educational training programs align with manufacturers’ needs.

The model, led by the OMA, the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, and OhioTechNet, features tools designed to align school curriculums with the specific skills manufacturers require. Through the expanded use of the competency model and its tools, manufacturers can expect to hire well-prepared workers, ready to meet the industry’s current and future demands. 7/17/2024
