Blueprint @ MAGNET
Since the Blueprint for Manufacturing in Northeast Ohio launched in June 2021, MAGNET has rolled up our sleeves to make the vision of being a global leader in smart manufacturing in the next decade a reality. We’re helping manufacturers adopt Industry 4.0 technologies like robots, cobots and sensors and showcasing Northeast Ohio Manufacturing Lighthouses for others to experience; supporting innovators as they create new products and encouraging them through our annual Mspire pitch competition; and opening our new building to welcome thousands of students and adults for hands-on tours to learn about manufacturing careers. There's much more, but to get a quick glimpse of our work, check out the videos below

Talent
We have an opportunity to close the skills gap that prevents manufacturing job awareness and fulfillment, to pivot from a talent shortage to a talent influx. Using innovative, fast-track “earn and learn” programs, we are attracting and retaining people to manufacturing careers and therefore boosting prosperity for the entire region.
