A coalition which includes The Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College and the Manufacturing Institute are partnering resources to adopt a collaborative and strategic approach to veteran employment. United Performance Metals joins their efforts by offering classroom assistance and job opportunities to military veterans.
Get Skills to Work was developed to address the high demand for skilled workers to fill U.S. manufacturing jobs. With the knowledge that 600,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs are available without skilled workers to fill them, nearly 1 million veterans are unemployed, and 1 million men and women will be returning from service over the next five years, Get Skills to Work aims to help prepare and place veterans in the jobs needed to power advanced manufacturing in the U.S.
A monthly education course being held at Cincinnati State provides Just-In-Time training customized to manufacturing careers. United Performance Metals will support the program by offering classroom assistance and by identifying employment opportunities for individuals who have earned certification through the program.
Through the combined efforts of the coalition, United Performance Metals can help prepare and place veterans in the jobs needed to power advanced manufacturing in the U.S.
