Ohio Manufacturers’ Association
Helping Ohio Manufacturers Drive Down the Cost of Doing Business
Government plays a significant role in determining manufacturers’ cost of doing business. All along the manufacturing continuum – from transportation of raw materials to manufacturing design and production, to delivery of finished product – various policies, rules and regulations govern manufacturing activities and impact your costs.
Manufacturers are our only constituency. Your need to compete is our only concern. And working to ensure manufacturing competitiveness in Ohio is our only business!
Ohio Manufacturing Workforce Partnership
To build Ohio’s manufacturing talent pipeline, the Ohio Manufacturing Workforce Partnership (OMWP) will upskill 5,000 Ohioans through innovative earn-and-learn (apprenticeship) programs.
OMWP is a collaboration between Ohio TechNet, a consortium of 40+ educational institutions, and The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, which facilitates a network of manufacturer-led sector partnerships. OMWP’s earn-and- learn programs are supported by the U.S. Department of Labor Scaling Apprenticeship Through Sector-Based Strategies initiative, which provided a $12 million grant.
