Jessica Borza, OMA’s managing director of workforce services, recently participated in a featured panel at the OhioTechNet’s 10-year anniversary event, celebrating a decade of workforce advancement in manufacturing and technology sectors.

The panel, “10 Years of Workforce Innovation,” highlighted the leadership and collaboration in developing earn-and-learn models, forming strategic industry-education partnerships, and aligning training with workforce demands.

Joining Jessica were Courtney Tenhover from Lorain County Community College and OhioTechNet, Jeff Miller from Sinclair College, and John Agostinelli from Amherst Exempted Village Schools. Together, they underscored the power of collaboration in building resilient, future-ready workforce systems.

For manufacturers, the message is clear: sustained engagement with workforce partners isn’t just beneficial – it’s essential to meeting Ohio’s industrial talent needs for the next decade and beyond. 4/30/2025
