To update its workforce strategies and goals for the new year, the OMA has published its 2021 Workforce Roadmap. Goals include:

• Increasing the number of counties served by manufacturing sector partnerships;
• Implementing a statewide earn-and-learn model to address the entry-level production worker gap;
• Building sector partnership capacity to increase outreach, enrollment, and job placement; and
• Launching regional Making Ohio campaigns.

Ohio manufacturers are encouraged to get involved with their local sector partnership to address their workforce challenges. For information on how your business can become directly involved with the OMA’s workforce services, email Sara Tracey. 1/14/2021
