No matter what you read or hear, manufacturing is still the largest industry in Ohio. Advanced manufacturing today means robotics, bio-science, fuel cells, and all types
of engineering.
It’s not old, dirty factories anymore, it’s inventing, designing and making cool things like iPods, race cars or parts for the Space Shuttle. Ohio manufacturers are using the most innovative technologies available and offer great pay to employees, averaging $54,000 a year. These well-paying jobs require knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math.
It’s estimated that there will be 60,000 advanced manufacturing jobs available in Ohio in the next 10 years. Whatever their passion - computers, robotics, engineering
or art—students can find a great career utilizing those skills in advanced manufacturing. MAGNET, the Manufacturing Advocacy & Growth Network, encourages you to help students learn about the many challenging careers available right here, right now in advanced manufacturing in Ohio. As a state, Ohio is the third largest manufacturer in the country. Without a qualified workforce, Ohio will not be able to maintain this status and help our economy compete on a global basis.
MAGNET will present six sessions on advanced manufacturing careers this school year. This series will kick off with an introductory session on Tuesday, October 14
dispelling the myths about manufacturing as a viable career option for today’s students.
