The Cincinnati-Dayton corridor has nationally recognized aerospace and manufacturing industries, and your chance to meet face-to-face with these hiring companies is coming later this month.

Job seekers looking to land a position in the related sectors will want to attend a job fair scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 29 at Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road. Parking is free.

Efforts are to recruit more than 60 employers with operations in the Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Montgomery and Warren county areas for the region-wide event, said Adam Jones, administrator of the Workforce Investment Board of Butler, Clermont and Warren Counties, a government agency that sets workforce development policy.

For people that view manufacturing maybe kind of as the old dungy type of kind of environment, its not that at all, Jones said. Its very clean.

The Workforce Investment Board is the event sponsor in partnership with fellow organizers including local county OhioMeansJobs centers, Hamilton Countys Southwest Ohio Region Workforce Investment Board, TechSolve, Warren County Port Authority, and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Browns office.

This summit brings together public-private partnerships to help connect manufacturers hiring workers, with workers who are seeking manufacturing jobs or training, Brown said in a provided statement. Working together, we help ensure long term success throughout the region.

Based on the companies that have agreed to participate so far such as Lebanons Tomak Precision, West Chester Twp.s AK Steel Holding Corp., Hamilton Countys GKN Aerospace and others openings include CNC machinists, production associates, maintenance technicians and process engineers, according to information compiled by OhioMeansJobs-Butler County.

Of the jobs already listed, starting pay ranges from $11 to $27.50 an hour.

The Southwestern Ohio Aerospace Region was one of 12 regions nationwide to receive a federal designation last year from the government program Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership.

A total $1.3 billion in federal money is available to spend on economic development across the nation, and the new designation puts the Cincinnati-Dayton region at the front of the line to receive a slice.
