Workforce Resources

Ohio's Workforce Vision: Ohio will be a leader in talent development - in giving the state's employers a competitive edge by meeting and exceeding their needs for customized, flexible, and industry-driven skills training, and in helping workers acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will allow them to get good jobs that pay family-sustainable wages and succeed in the 21st global economy.

Ohio's Department of Jobs & Family Services offers a variety of business training tools to support targeted workforce continuing education. The Ohio business community can take advantage of several free and financial assistance opportunities designed to stimulate the availability of educated labor to serve industry-specific needs.

The consortium was formed to respond to a need from high demand industries in the region for skilled workers. It has developed a comprehensive regional training network to deliver advanced manufacturing training to current and displaced workers. The training programs are industry driven and designed to meet the needs of employers in West Central Ohio.
