Raise the Bar Hancock County, an OMA-endorsed industry sector partnership, is celebrating its recent graduates from the WorkAdvance training program, announcing their successful job placements with a local manufacturer. WorkAdvance is a quick, comprehensive training program funded by Ohio’s Good Jobs Challenge grant, funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration. As WFIN in Findlay reports, the program provides job-readiness training, soft-skill development, and technical skills that help prepare participants for manufacturing careers. Manufacturers are encouraged to collaborate with OMA-endorsed ISPs. Engaging with these manufacturing-led partnerships opens doors to training programs like WorkAdvance. 12/4/2023
