The Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers Coalition (AOMC) returns from Virginia with big plans. The AOMC organized a trip to Danville, Virginia to visit the Institute of Advanced Learning and Research and the Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center. On July 11, the organization brought 34 community members consisting of directors, superintendents, and deans from Ohio State University, Ohio University, Washington State Community College, Hocking College, Marshall University, Fort Frye, Noble Local Schools, Warren, and other educational institutions. The goal of the trip was to learn how they can bridge the gap between manufacturing and education in the Appalachian area.
