In this episode of Compliance in Motion, host Tony DeAscentis talks with Alex Hertzer, Executive Director of the Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition (MVMC) — a force connecting people to modern manufacturing careers across Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana counties.
Alex shares how MVMC helps job seekers train and land manufacturing jobs through its free 4-week WorkAdvance program, complete with hands-on training, employer interviews, and a full year of career coaching. He also explains how local manufacturers benefit from apprenticeships, upskilling support, and funding connections—plus what the future holds for the Valley as automation and AI reshape the industry.
