Annual Summer Manufacturing Institute Camp set for July
NECIC along with the Regional Manufacturing Coalition and EPIK will host the sixth annual Summer Manufacturing Institute Camp as part of Sen. Sherrod Brown's call to engage Ohio's youth with local manufacturing activities and opportunities in their home county. The week-long camp will be held at the NECIC Community Outreach Center, 486 Springmill St., from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 17-21. This free camp is open to all Richland County fourth through ninth grade students.
This year, the camp will focus on how businesses use digital technologies to improve their manufacturing businesses and the skills students need to fill these high-paying positions and build lifelong careers. Participants will do hands-on projects and tour local companies.
Registration will open May 31 on necic-ohio.org. For more information, contact Nyasha Oden at 419-522-1611 ext. 122 or nyasha@necic-ohio.org.

New features added to OhioMeansJobs website
COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced new user-friendly features to OhioMeansJobs.com, coordinated by InnovateOhio, the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. These new features take a faster, streamlined approach to connect unemployed Ohioans with jobs while helping employers identify new talent. The enhancements are the next phase to improve customer experience with OhioMeansJobs.com.
With the transition of “profiles” to “career hubs,” individuals will get more targeted help in their job searches. The resumes of veterans are designated with a red and blue “V,” and the resumes of military spouses are designated with a red and blue “S” to highlight them for military-friendly employers.
