In an effort to increase awareness of the demand for a skilled workforce in the areas of welding and CNC machining, OhioMeansJobs Stark County is hosting a Manufacturing Career Day on March 22^nd. Area residents will have the opportunity to learn more about welding and CNC machining, and be exposed to other jobs in the manufacturing field that also are in demand. Participants can attend one of two sessions that will be held from 9:30am to noon and 1pm to 3:30pm at the organization’s Canton office at 822-30^th Street NW.

“Welding and CNC machining are demand occupations that, with fairly short term training, provide a competitive wage and offer opportunities for wage and career growth in our local economy. However, many do not understand how these jobs and other jobs in the manufacturing field can provide a viable career option,” says JoAnn Breedlove, COO for OhioMeansJobs Stark and Tuscarawas Counties.

“Research indicates that over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will likely need to be filled. The goal of Manufacturing Career Day is to educate and inform of this demand,” she added.

Both sessions will include a panel discussion with representatives from Akron CNC Training Center, Akron Testing Lab and Welding and Stark State College, along with employer representatives who hire welders and CNC machinists. The panel will discuss career options, local job availability, wages, work environment, and education and certification requirements specific to welding and CNC machining.

Each session also will include an information fair that will allow training vendors to highlight their specific programs related to manufacturing. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with the vendors, and collect information regarding their specific manufacturing related programs such as welding, HVAC, CNC machining, and industrial maintenance. Participating vendors include Akron Testing Lab and Welding School, Alliance Career Center, Akron CNC Training Center, Portage Lakes Career Center, Stark State College and Buckeye Career Center.
