The Ohio Manufacturers' Association (OMA) will receive $46,985,616 under a Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's (EDA) Economic Adjustment Assistance program. OMA will support the growth of a diverse new generation of skilled manufacturing workers through partnerships with over 100 employers across Ohio. OMA will diversify the aging, male-dominated manufacturing industry by recruiting and retaining women, urban populations, and individuals from Appalachian coal communities into quality careers. OMA will scale its evidence-based Learn and Earn entry-level model across its network of 16 sector partnerships, which include backbone organizations such as the Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers' Coalition, Ohio State University, and the Lorain County Manufacturing Sector Partnership.
