Manufacturing apprenticeships are simpler than ever. Even a single employee can maintain an apprenticeship at an employer through taking courses at a local technical or two year college. Fees might be shared between the employer and the apprentice. Public training dollars can also be brought into play. Employers set the terms and conditions of the apprenticeship though resouces are available from the state apprenticeship council and area educational institutions.
A local metalworking company, who's hired our MSSC graduates, uses job shadowing to assist new hires in learning the full operation of the company. The SuperJobs Center has OJT funds available to get new hires up to speed. Ohio employers have the ability to choose the training provider, and the company can either provide its own training, or engage an outside training vendor. The Ohio Workforce Guarantee will reimburse grantees the cost of approved training for full-time employees receiving at least $10.88 per hour, excluding benefits. Advanced manufacturing is one of the nine targeted industries for this program.
Options exist for incumbent worker training. Expanding opportunities for dislocated and young workers will need to also expand.
