"Made In Northeast Ohio"
"Through manufacturing and education Northeast Ohio has continued growth during the recession"
INDEPENDENCE, OH, February 12, 2012 /Human Resources PR News/ -- Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" campaign calls out to every red-blooded American. It's about an American region rising from the ashes and re-inventing itself. Imported from Detroit? What about "Imported from Northeast Ohio"?
Northeast Ohio has long been the home to some of the most impressive manufacturing companies and facilities in the world. Many Fortune 500 companies call this region home such as Goodyear, Eaton, FirstEnergy, and Parker Hannifin. The area also has 37% of the Fortune 500 companies represented with facilities, headquarters, or large scale operations in the region including General Electric, PPG, Emerson, Ford, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, Alcoa, and many more. Other companies, such as lawn care equipment manufacturer MTD; food and beverage giant Nestle; engineering experts Babcock &Wilcox; leading paint and color company Sherwin Williams; and Rockwell Automation, also help support the economy of this area.
Countless small to midsize companies, like Master Tool and Horsburgh & Scott, supply tooling, materials, and provide machine building and engineering services that help support these large scale operations. These companies and many others have helped the Northeast Ohio area post six consecutive quarters of growth as well as a lower than the national average unemployment rate. The biggest problem this region faces is filling these jobs with qualified people to sustain its growth potential.
Search Masters, located in Independence Ohio, plus other recruiting firms in the Cleveland area, have taken on the task of making sure these facilities stay ahead of the curve with top local talent. The obstacle Search Masters and many similar firms continue to face is the skills gap resulting from a change in the labor force - the problem that there is a shortage of fresh faces to replace the retiring Baby Boom generation. Ohio Governor John Kasich, in his recent state of the State address, has urged parents and teachers to encourage the upcoming generations to not avoid manufacturing, industrial, and engineering jobs, as it has helped revitalize the state. Steps towards expanding and improving manufacturing, engineering, and industrial oriented programs at the Ohio's learning institutions are well under way to ensure the labor force stays strong through the next generation.
Cleveland and the rest Northeast Ohio are proving that the "Rust Belt" moniker may not be as accurate as it once was. The region continues to expand and add jobs at an impressive level. With so many companies operating in a growing economy, and a dedicated to continued education of the labor force, it goes to show that many products that the general public uses across the country should more accurately be labeled, "Imported from Northeast Ohio".
Search Masters, Inc has been an industry leader since 1973 in the Northeast Ohio Region in specialized search and placement of manufacturing and industrial engineers, managers, and other high level personnel. Contact us today at 216-781-5311!
