Tour of Industrial Opportunity
The United States economy is at a crossroads. The economy is still in a
recovery process as American businesses continue to ramp up production to meet a growing, global demand in many different industries across the spectrum. But businesses need more qualified, and drug-free workers, to meet global demands.
Right here in Wayne County, countless businesses — particularly in the manufacturing sector — are at the forefront of this challenge to keep up with demand from their customers and are in need of a quality workforce in our own backyard.
Gone are the days of the past where manufacturing factories were seen as dark, dirty and dangerous. Today’s facilities are cleaner and safer than ever. But they still face an uphill battle to attract young, quality workers.
This is where events across the nation, such as Wayne County’s Manufacturing Day, come in to help connect potential workers with quality employers. And this year’s event serves to be the largest day in its third year and one of the largest in the state of Ohio.
“We feel extremely fortunate to have every school district and 14 of our industry partners collaborating and making this day possible,” said Justin Starlin, president of the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Attracting and retaining quality, young talent in our community is vital to the overall strength and long-term prosperity of our local economy. We feel events such as Manufacturing Day serves as one of the most important steps in achieving this by making the younger generation aware of the career opportunities locally and that they greener pastures indeed exist here, and not elsewhere,” Starlin said.
More than 500 high school-aged children will get a first-hand look at top employers such as LuK, Artiflex, Akron Brass and countless others.
Wayne County’s Manufacturing Day — presented in a collaborative effort with the Wooster and Orrville Chambers and the Wayne Economic Development Council — is particularly unique as students from every school district in the area are involved in helping solve the problem of connecting workers with employers in need of skilled labor.
“Manufacturing is critical to our country, and its certainly critical to our state and even more yet to Wayne County,” said Wayne Girbach, with the Wayne Economic Development Council, as the county enjoys one of the greatest clusters of manufacturing jobs in the state of Ohio. “Whatever is true to the importance of manufacturing is more true in good old Wayne County.
“This event is one of many we are doing to connect great career paths and to educate kids and their families on the wonderful career opportunities that manufacturing presents,” Girbach added.
The 2016 Manufacturing Day will be the largest such event of its kind in the state of Ohio as it features 14 industry partners who have opened their doors to students from 17 school districts.
Students will have the opportunity to see the needs of potential employers in their hometowns, be presented on the types of jobs, and learn of salaries and benefits offered at these respected businesses.
“We’re excited that we make things in Wayne County and we want to keep that going. But we need the next generation of workers to continue that,” said Lori Reinbolt, president of the Orrville Chamber. “It’s so important to provide an opportunity for students to see what great things are made in Wayne County and to see that there are great career opportunities close to home.”

The Wooster Area Safety Council met Wednesday, Sept. 28th at 11:30 a.m.
for a presentation by Kathy Metropulos entitled Keeping Drinking Water Safe in the City of Wooster.
Kathy is a Environmental Specialist with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in the Division of Drinking and Ground Waters. She has been involved with contamination issues in the City of Wooster’s south well field since the mid-1990s, and is currently the drinking water inspector for the City of Wooster.
Wooster Area Saftey Council Members had the opportunity to learn about the history of the South Wellfield Contamination and the steps the City of Wooster has taken to provide clean drinking water, including compliance with drinking water regulations, building a new water treatment plant and starting a Source Water Protection Program, of which the City of Wooster was one of the first systems in Ohio to develop a drinking water source protection program).
Thank you to Kathy Metropulos for sharing her time and expertise with the Wooster Area Safety Council!

Shop Small SaturdayBelieve it or not the holidays are just around
the corner! The Wooster Chamber would like to remind our community how important it is to Shop Small on Saturday, Nov. 26th. In it’s seventh year, the Shop Small Saturday initiative continues to grow as it competes against other sales events such as Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Shop Small Saturday is fast becoming a holiday shopping tradition with an emphasis on local! Whereas other shopping days place the emphasis on getting “great deals” at big box stores and big corporations, Shop Small Saturday brings you deals at local establishments which in turn helps the area you live in as well as the people in your community. Our friends, family, and neighbors are the same people who own or work at a locally-owned small business. And events like Shop Small Saturday help keep our local economy strong!
