COMPETITIVE TALENT FUELS THE FUTURE Ohio s manufacturing heritage has helped create a diverse talent pool and dedicated pipeline leading right to you. More than 80 campuses with engineering and engineering technology programs are preparing Ohio talent with the skills and knowledge necessary for jobs in aerospace and aviation. The academic research network in Ohio offers student-learners and seasoned practitioners opportunities to contribute to automation, advanced materials and additive manufacturing innovation using traditional and apprentice-based training models. Create a Custom Talent Pipeline To Accelerate Growth Strategic talent partnerships distinguish Ohio s competitive talent ecosystem. Cooperation between academic institutions, public organizations and private businesses is creating opportunities for companies to create customized training programs that produce highly skilled workers. Executives at Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services (AMES), a western Ohio company providing MRO services at the Wilmington Air Park, were facing a talent shortage. Like MRO service companies nationwide, AMES needed more specialized sheet metal and structural repair talent to help meet the growing demand for MRO services. The company worked with JobsOhio and Dayton Development Coalition to secure funding to create a customized six-month on-the-job training program. The JobsOhio Workforce Grant gave us the financial support we needed to create a customized training program. This training is enabling us to develop some of the talent we need to expand and serve more aviation companies in Ohio.
