Developing a skilled technician workforce can be challenging, but Ohio manufacturers don’t have to navigate the process alone. Through JobsOhio Technician Path, manufacturers can connect with dedicated regional Concierge Service Providers (CSPs) who serve as trusted advisors in identifying and implementing earn-and-learn strategies to strengthen their technician talent pipelines.

CSPs work directly with manufacturers to understand their workforce needs, identify eligible training pathways, and connect with education and training partners. From exploring Registered Apprenticeship Programs to navigating available incentives and resources, these regional advisors provide hands-on guidance to help employers develop sustainable technician training solutions.

The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association serves as the Statewide Concierge Lead, supporting a coordinated statewide approach while leveraging the regional expertise and employer relationships of CSPs across Ohio. Manufacturers interested in exploring JobsOhio Technician Path are encouraged to submit the interest form to connect with their regional CSP and identify the next steps for engagement. 11/9/2026
