Workforce – the greatest challenge to manufacturing ”So what are you gonna do about it”?

Filling the pipeline with qualified workers to keep your operations running now, and into the future, remains the #1 rated challenge and concern of manufacturers in this region – and the Nation.

The Ohio Manufacturing Summit will bring together a panel of the regions most qualified thought leaders to share their insights into how you can overcome these challenges by instituting your own internal process for identifying, attracting, recruiting, onboarding, training and retaining talent.

Come and get inspired by dynamic leaders who will discuss a variety of topics including:

-Is college for everyone?
-Apprenticeship programs
-Trade Schools
-High School Recruitment
-Resources and subsidies available
-“Where do I start”?

Tickets will include: breakfast, networking, a panel discussion, audience Q&A, a goodie bag and free parking!
