Ohio Manufacturing Group Pushes Workforce Development

The organization recently unveiled a new campaign to bolster interest in Ohio's manufacturing jobs

By the year 2025, there will be around two million manufacturing jobs around the country left unfilled. That’s according to Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and keynote speaker at the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association’s Workforce Summit 2017 on November 1.

To address those future vacancies, OMA is working to boost its recruiting and talent development with a new workforce-development campaign called “Making Ohio: Ohio Manufacturing,” which provides information about manufacturing jobs and the training needed for them.
