The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Stark State College of Technology $2.35 million on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to lead the Strategic Coordination for Advanced Learning and Employment in Manufacturing (SCALE-M) Consortium. The consortium will redesign advanced manufacturing curriculum to address Ohio's technician shortage in automation, artificial intelligence, and microelectronics through a faculty-led, industry-informed initiative. The project will embed industry-validated competency models into curriculum design, establish multiple entry and exit points for learners, and create a replicable framework for statewide industry-education alignment that other states can adopt. The consortium will leverage Ohio TechNet, a community college network originally launched by Lorain County Community College through a Department of Labor grant, to disseminate best practices and advanced manufacturing curriculum across partner institutions statewide. Stark State College, located in North Canton, Ohio, serves as the recipient and lead organization. Performance extends across the Ohio TechNet member institutions and partner community colleges throughout Ohio. The project period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2030.
