Research Strategy
For this research on active workforce training/educational programs for people looking to get into manufacturing jobs in Columbus, OH, and Pella, IA, we leveraged the most reputable sources of information, including government, schools, colleges, and universities websites; manufacturing information sources, manufacturing companies, and trusted news and media sources. We focused primarily on finding programs focused on Youth, Veterans, Women, and DE&I.
However, most programs that focused on these particular groups had already been included in the spreadsheet. For this reason, most of the information we were able to add focused on Youth, like school and college students hoping to join the manufacturing industry through education like internships, certification, apprenticeships, and degree programs.
Additionally, some programs didn't have the full contact information, cost, length, or requirements. In cases where this wasn't available, we marked them as NA in the spreadsheet.
