The SkillsTrac program was developed by a consortium of four colleges and vocational schools, ten One-Stop and economic development organizations, and over thirty manufacturers and was funded by a U.S. Department of Labor Community Based Job Training Grant. The schools deliver the training to incumbent workers from the manufacturing community and to the dislocated worker base in western Ohio.
