The OMA this week reconstituted its Statewide Alignment Committee to address pressing workforce challenges in the manufacturing sector. The committee includes key leaders from industry and state agencies, including K-12, career-tech, higher education, and workforce development organizations.

This committee provides a platform for unified approaches to manufacturing workforce priorities, updates on advocacy and resources, and the coordination of statewide efforts. By collaboratively supporting initiatives such as the Ohio Manufacturing Competency Model, JobsOhio, TechCred, and the Auto and Advanced Mobility Workforce Strategy, the committee strengthens Ohio manufacturers competitiveness in addressing workforce needs. 12/4/2024
