Is the shortage of skilled production workers and lack of training programs affecting your talent pipeline and productivity?

The Lorain County Manufacturing Sector Partnership is a network of manufacturing companies working together to promote manufacturing and grow a skilled workforce

Ohio manufacturers face a shared challenge in recruiting the workforce needed for success today and in the future

LCMPS Helps Manufacturers Grow the Talent Pipeline

Leverage Education

We partner with regional educators to assist with curriculum and programming development to ensure individuals are prepared for manufacturing jobs.

Make Connections

We establish relationships with workforce development and social services agencies in Ohio and Lorain County to prepare job seekers for future success.

Grow the Network

We serve as an intermediary between manufacturers and education and training and workforce groups while recruiting manufacturers as members and advocates.

“Membership in the LCMSP has been one of the best ROI’s I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been able to access programs that pay for technical training for our employees. LCCC and local manufacturers collaborate to create apprenticeship and advanced training programs tailored to manufacturing.”

David A. Zunis, CMgT, Director, Service and Application Engineering, Absolute Machine

“The LCMSP has been a great way to collectively work with our fellow manufacturers and educational providers to recruit and prepare potential candidates for the industry. We have identified our skill needs and designed programs to meet those needs and share best practices”
