the INSPIRATION
Manufacturing is one of the fastest growing industries in Northwest Ohio. We're not just making things here, we are making things better. But as the industry grows, Northwest Ohio's manufacturers are facing unique challenges as an industry, including:
Talent Shortage
How can manufacturers work together to ensure that the right talent is being developed instead of encouraging the transfer of workers between companies?
|
Career Pathways
How can manufacturers make sure career opportunities are well-known, accessible, and offers pathways for students and workers of all skill levels?
|
Stigma
How can manufacturers market themselves to show that the industry has developed over the years as an interesting, highly automated and progressive way to start and continue a career?
|
