The Ohio Manufacturing Competency Model outlines the core skills required of all manufacturing operators and technicians – along with the specialized competencies needed in specific industries. Built by manufacturers, it ensures Ohio’s training providers prepare graduates with industry-defined skills.
Now, we are developing a new industry in the model: Food Manufacturing!
We are seeking company-nominated representatives who understand your skill requirements — such as hiring managers, operations leaders, executives, or YOU — to join the core team. Through virtual sessions, team members can expect to spend about six (6) hours over the next couple of months developing the model.
Please use this form to submit your nominees. We will invite them to a two-hour kickoff call on February 26, 2026, at 10:00AM.
