Our Mission
Ohio TechNet is designed to transform the way in which higher education works with employers and workforce partners to better align industry needs with education and training for Advanced Manufacturing in Ohio.

Partners
The Ohio TechNet consortium consists of 290+ employers and 11 community colleges partnering with workforce agencies that collectively provide services reaching 71 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Most consortium colleges are recognized on the Manufacturing Institute’s M-List, demonstrating that they are teaching manufacturing students to industry standards.

Employers
Ohio TechNet has grown from 47 initial employer partners to more than 290+ employers who are interested in helping develop programs/provide on-the-job training/hire Ohio TechNet participants to fill the skills gap in Ohio. Industry engagement is key to the success of this initiative!
Manufacturing employers statewide are welcome to participate in the Ohio Manufacturing Careers Council which launched September 2015 with the support of LIFT, Ohio Department of Higher Education and Ohio TechNet. Interested in learning more? Contact ohiotechnet@lorainccc.edu
