Building a Legacy While Making an Impact
We know that manufacturing's greatest challenge and opportunity is creating, training, and sustaining a quality workforce. To answer this challenge, DRMA established the DRMA Foundation to fund workforce development initiatives to bring workers into the manufacturing industry and to further develop the skills of those workers currently employed in the sector. Additionally, DRMA leads the Dayton Region Manufacturing Workforce Partnership, an OMA-endorsed sector partnership, along with partners FASTLANE and the Dayton Development Coalition.
It is the driving mission of the DRMA Foundation. Through your donations, we are able to help the underemployed and the underserved youth and adults of the region and present the vision of a career in manufacturing.
