Building Ohio’s Future Workforce The Need for More Engineering Technology Students October 28, 2016

Current Situation and Risk THE PERFECT STORM Manufacturing Technology has changed drastically over the last ten years and continues to become more sophisticated and complex An increased requirement of skills needed to maintain today’s manufacturing equipment - Manufacturing Technicians must be able to trouble shoot integrated systems which utilize a combination of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical components An increasing number of current technicians are nearing retirement eligibility each year An insufficient number of people are considering or entering pathways which lead to manufacturing careers In the near future, several hundred thousand manufacturing jobs are predicted to go unfilled because there will not be enough skilled people to fill them

Current Situation and Risk ISSUES FOR HONDA The retirement bubble – Acutely affecting the technician role and production associates Pipeline was not sufficient for technicians – we had difficulty finding candidates for technician-related co-ops for 2-year college students Our two year college partners were not filling the seats in their programs Locally, the number of high school students in regional career centers for manufacturing programs was declining Many students begin making decisions and assumptions about careers during middle school and are tracked for specific post secondary options. Students at all levels do not have an accurate understanding of modern manufacturing and related careers.
