MAGNET recently celebrated launching 3,000 people into manufacturing careers through the Manufacturing Sector Partnership of Cuyahoga County. Now this work has been featured on CBS News’ Eye on America! We are honored that MAGNET’s mission to drive manufacturing in our region and support individuals in their career pathways in Cuyahoga County were spotlighted on this national platform. Our communities are built on manufacturing, and MAGNET is proud to roll up our sleeves and help fill the gap between companies seeking qualified employees and Northeast Ohio residents ready to build manufacturing careers.
Mary Lamar participated in one of the early ACCESS to Manufacturing Careers cohorts, which we run in coordination with Towards Employment, and has become a true champion for manufacturing. She’s a shining example of the future of how companies can grow and the impact these careers can have on individuals, families and communities.
The Manufacturing Sector Partnership of Cuyahoga County’s workforce programs, including ACCESS, Early College Early Career (ECEC), Summer Manufacturing Academy, the Youth Manufacturing Experience, and CoachU would not be possible without our many funders, community partners, board members, and employees who work tirelessly to support these efforts. To these partners, we cannot thank you enough, as noted in Ethan Karp's LinkedIn post here.
▶️ Watch the CBS segment here.
This is just the beginning. We look forward to the work ahead, strengthening the manufacturing workforce pipeline right here in Northeast Ohio.
