Manufacturers are increasingly focused on engaging students earlier and building awareness of modern manufacturing careers. On Thursday, March 12, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) will host OMA/Workforce: Scaling K–12 Engagement for Manufacturers, a webinar highlighting how manufacturers can expand student outreach by plugging into proven, coordinated models that broaden reach while keeping participation manageable.

Participants will hear perspectives from Industry Sector Partnership leaders, a manufacturer, and an education partner on what makes K–12 engagement efforts effective and replicable. The discussion will spotlight ambassador-led outreach, practical tools that support employer participation, and clear pathways for connecting students to real-world manufacturing careers. Register today to reserve your spot and learn how to scale K–12 engagement in your community. 2/26/2026
