The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, in partnership with Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, announced the launch of Ohio’s Manufacturing Workforce Blueprint 2025—a unified, statewide strategy to grow and strengthen Ohio’s manufacturing talent pipeline.

The Blueprint outlines five strategic priorities to transform workforce systems, expand awareness, broaden talent pools and scale earn-and-learn pathways to meet the industry’s rising demand for skilled workers. With more than 35,000 new job openings projected annually, this Blueprint represents a critical call to action for industry, education and workforce partners across the state.
