SkillsTrac Industrial Maintenance Training Program
Page | 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sinclair Community College (Dayton and Mason, Ohio) proposes a substantial
investment in new equipment in order to meet the needs of advanced manufacturing companies
in Southwest Ohio by providing flexible, relevant training in industrial maintenance.
This equipment will be used in conjunction with SkillsTrac, a curriculum developed by
industry leaders and educators in order to meet critical training needs while increasing
productivity. An equipment purchase is essential for delivery of the SkillsTrac Industrial
Maintenance Training curriculum, which blends online content with hands-on training in a
laboratory setting.
Sinclair currently offers SkillsTrac training in Eaton (Preble County) and Dayton
(Montgomery County). New equipment will allow Sinclair to expand SkillsTrac offerings to
Sinclair’s Courseview Campus in Mason (Warren County), better meeting the needs of large
industrial employers housed in Warren and surrounding counties. The Courseview Campus is
conveniently central to the eight counties from which trainees will be drawn: Butler, Clermont,
Greene, Hamilton, Preble, Miami, Montgomery, and Warren. Because trainees will have less
travel and less time away from work, they will be able to increase their skills and productivity
with less expense to employers.
The content of SkillsTrac training is in demand by local industry and includes: electric
circuits, motor controls, pneumatics, hydraulics, and programmable logic controllers. Attainment
of these skills leads to stackable SkillsTrac certificates. The offerings include both non-credit
and credit-based classes utilizing traditional classroom space and hands-on labs, flexibly
meeting the needs of employees and employers. Completers of the non-credit training program
will be able to request articulated college credit for courses that comprise the Industrial
Maintenance Certificate offered through Sinclair’s Electronics Engineering Technology
department.
The Warren County Office of Economic Development, the City of Mason, the City of
Mason Economic Development Office, and the Mason Port Authority are also important
supporters of this project. They will publicize Sinclair’s SkillsTrac training as a way of recruiting
new businesses to the area and advertise the service to existing companies.
Three industry partners, Makino, Inc., Advics Manufacturing Ohio, Inc. and Heinze
Portion Control, are providing $205,250 leveraged support for the project. Sinclair Community
College will provide an additional $280,358 of leveraged funding. The grant will pay for 61% of
the equipment upgrades required to operate an expanded SkillsTrac program, and Sinclair will
provide the remaining 39% as leveraged funds.
The project will result in at least 50 training completers by June 30, 2015. The three-year
business plan conservatively estimates at least a 10% increase in trainees served each year,
leading to a minimum of 233 completers in the three years following the grant period.
This project is a collaborative initiative between Sinclair’s Workforce Development
Division, Regional Centers Division, and Sinclair’s Science, Mathematics, and Engineering
Division. The project director will be Mike Freed, Senior Consultant with Sinclair’s Workforce
Development & Corporate Services division.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Overview/Introduction
Sinclair Community College (Dayton and Mason, Ohio) has an established history of
partnering with local industries; it now proposes to increase support to advanced manufacturing
companies in Southwestern Ohio by expanding industrial maintenance training. Industry
partners in this project are:



Makino, Inc.— industrial machinery and equipment wholesaler with customers in
aerospace and medical manufacturing
Advics Manufacturing Ohio, Inc.—automotive component parts manufacturer for
passenger cars and light trucks
Heinz Portion Control—industry leader in production of portion control products
This project has multiple economic partners within the community. The Warren County
Office of Economic Development will play a key role, educating existing and potential new
businesses on Sinclair’s SkillsTrac training program. Other partners include the City of Mason,
the City of Mason Economic Development Office, and the Mason Port Authority. Please see
letters of commitment from all partners, attached.
These partners are located in Warren County, a county with significant advanced
manufacturing operations. The partners are some of the largest industrial automation
manufacturers in the area and they believe industrial maintenance training is essential to
increased productivity. Sinclair will provide the proposed SkillsTrac training at its Warren County
Courseview Campus in Mason, Ohio, with trainees drawn from an eight-county area comprised
of Butler, Clermont, Greene, Hamilton, Preble, Miami, Montgomery, and Warren.
Equipment purchases will support implementation of the SkillsTrac curriculum. SkillsTrac
was developed several years ago with input from Ohio employers, economic development
organizations, and a cadre of educational partners in order to meet Ohio machine maintenance
training needs. There is a substantial hands-on component which requires technical equipment.
The project director will be Mike Freed, Senior Consultant with Sinclair’s Workforce
Development & Corporate Services division. He led development of the SkillsTrac curriculum
and currently directs Sinclair’s OBOR Non-Credit Job Training Capital Improvement Facilities
Fund project in Preble County.
1. SIGNIFICANCE TO THE REGIONAL ECONOMY
Sinclair will provide the proposed training at its Courseview Campus in Mason, Ohio
(Warren County). The program will target the seven additional southwestern Ohio counties
within proximity of the campus: Butler, Clermont, Greene, Hamilton, Preble, Miami,
Montgomery. These counties represent both Dayton and Cincinnati’s Metropolitan Statistical
Areas, with the exception of Brown County, which was excluded due to distance from the
proposed training site. These eight counties have a high number of advanced manufacturing
companies with automation systems requiring significant machine maintenance; thus, there is
strong demand for an easily accessible training for employees that will ensure they have a
relevant, up-to-date skillset. This will ensure increased productivity.

a. Industry location quotient
According to Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. (January 2014), the 2013 national
location quotient for manufacturing (NAICS Code 31) in the target area was 1.25. Industrial
maintenance, the targeted training area, supports a variety of advanced manufacturing
operations.
b. Equipment program justification (description of how the equipment and funding will
directly benefit the economic growth and increase workforce capacity of the region, the
use of the equipment by industry, and how it supports training and education)
The SkillsTrac training consists of course content taught online and through traditional
classroom training. The curriculum also includes validation of content learned online through inclass application: after students complete a required number of online courses they request time
in the equipment lab to demonstrate what they have learned independently. This hybrid learning
format aligns with needs of employers, who designed the curriculum as a 50-50 mix of online
learning and hands-on lab time so that it would (1) be self-paced, and (2) minimize a trainee’s
time in class and away from the job. Both classroom instruction and validation opportunities
require the use of the equipment Sinclair intends to purchase.
The SkillsTrac curriculum is designed to teach in-demand industrial maintenance
knowledge and skills: electric circuits, motor controls, pneumatics, hydraulics, and
programmable logic controllers. Attainment of these skills leads to stackable SkillsTrac
certificates, each named by color, as shown below:
LEVEL
Green
Yellow
Red
TOPICS ADDRESSED
Industrial Mechanics
Maintenance Fundamentals
Industrial Electricity
Industrial Fluid Power
Industrial Controls
Programmable Logic Controllers
Sinclair Community College intends to purchase four sets of five mobile learning
systems aligned to these varied skills. A detailed description of the equipment and credentials
is included in the attachments and a visual can be referenced on the next page
Each month different systems will be rotated into the lab to address topics requested by
employers. The movement of learning systems on an “as-needed” basis will provide the
flexibility that allows Sinclair to quickly respond to needs of incumbent workers. In addition, the
equipment will be used to provide credit-based training, creating a pipeline of skilled workers to
fill vacancies as experienced workers retire.
The use of mobile learning system equipment in the new Courseview Campus Building
B (5386 Courseview Drive in Mason, Ohio) will require renovations totaling $24,000.
Renovations include adding the electrical power and compressed air needed to run the
equipment, and replacing a single-width classroom door with a double door to facilitate
movement of the systems in and out of the classroom. A detailed list of the renovations is
included in the attachments.

During the grant period Sinclair will provide at least five non-credit and credit-based
opportunities. Completers of non-credit training will be able to request articulated college credit
from Sinclair for courses comprising the Industrial Maintenance Certificate offered through the
Electronics Engineering Technology department. Each course will serve 8 to 10 incumbent
workers and students, training at least 50 participants by June 30, 2015. The three-year
business plan estimates at least a 10% increase in trainees served each year, leading to 233
completers in the three years following the grant period.
Currently, Sinclair offers SkillsTrac training in Eaton (Preble County) and Dayton
(Montgomery County). The new equipment will allow Sinclair to serve the needs of employers in
Warren and surrounding counties, resulting in reduced training costs for employers. The
equipment will also result in improved productivity since trainees will have less travel and less
time away from work to receive their training and increase their skills.
2. INDUSTRY DEMAND
a. Total current and forecasted employment
Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. predicts a 10% decrease in manufacturing jobs
(NAICS code 31) between 2013-2020. However, the target region should have approximately
112,141 manufacturing jobs in 2020, indicating the continued strength of manufacturing
employment in the area.

As shown, the target region has 3,179 manufacturing companies, and local economic
development efforts are aimed at growing the manufacturing sector. This is not necessarily
reflected in EMSI predictions. For example, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing
are key growth industries identified by the Dayton Development Coalition
(http://www.daytonregion.com/key-industries/advanced-materials-manufacturing/). In Lebanon,
the seat of Warren County, manufacturing comprises 21% of all industry hiring and is the lead
hiring industry (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/local-jobs/city/l-lebanon,%20oh). The primary
employer served by this project, Makino, supports a wide range of advanced manufacturing
industries including automotive, aerospace, general machining, medical, construction, and
die/mold (Source: http://www.makino.com/machine-industries/).
b. Forecasted new jobs that equipment purchase will impact within 24 months
The primary occupation targeted by the training is Industrial Machinery Mechanics (SOC
49-9041). EMSI data suggests that 155 machinery mechanics jobs will be created between
2014 and 2016. Given the dearth of machinery mechanic training in the area, it is likely that a
large percentage of these new employees will enroll in SkillsTrac training and utilize the newly
purchased equipment. If 70% of these new employees engage in SkillsTrac training,
approximately 109 jobs will be impacted within 24 months.

EMSI data for the target area estimates there are currently 3,167 employees working in
Industrial Machinery Mechanics. Given partner investment in the program and the constantly
changing nature of technology, it is anticipated that over time a substantial pool of employees
will engage in SkillsTrac training in order to upgrade their skills. The table below summarizes
this information.

d. Proof of need and market demand for requested equipment purchase and
training/education programs
Advanced manufacturing employers in Warren County and surrounding areas will lose
skilled industrial maintenance workers in record numbers as retirements surge over the next five
years. In addition, job requirements are shifting, requiring employees to cross-train and build
broader, more advance technical skills in order to remain productive. There is also an
inadequate "pipeline" of new workers entering the occupation, most with little training. As a
result, employers are eager for a training that effectively upgrades the skills of incumbent
workers and prepares a future workforce for in-demand industrial maintenance jobs. The
contribution of employers to the creation of the SkillsTrac curriculum, and their interest in
expanding the program, is evidence of this commitment.
Further demand for the proposed training comes from the Workforce Investment &
Innovation Board (WINN), an initiative of the Area 12 Workforce Investment Board attempting to
fill the void in incumbent worker training. The WINN has identified machine maintenance training
for incumbent workers as a priority, based on employer input.
3. LEVERAGED RESOURCES
The project will involve three manufacturers in Warren County, Ohio: Makino, Inc.,
Advics Manufacturing Ohio, Inc., and Heinz Portion Control. The project will also involve
major economic development organizations in Warren County, including the Warren County
Office of Economic Development, the City of Mason, the City of Mason Economic Development
Office, and the Mason Port Authority.
a. Leveraged dollars
The total college and industry leveraged resources for this project is $485,608, which is
169% of the total amount requested from the Ohio Board of Regents.
Sinclair’s contribution to the project is $280,358, which is 96% of the total amount
requested. These leveraged funds will defray the costs of project management, equipment
maintenance costs, renovation of classroom space to accommodate the equipment, costs
associated with moving the equipment as needed, and the estimated increased electricity cost
to operate equipment.
b. Private Business Contribution
Extensive resources will leverage the investment from the Ohio Board of Regents
Workforce Development Equipment and Facilities grant, as detailed in the table below.

4. SUSTAINABILITY OF THE INVESTMENT
Sustainability of the infrastructure, future upgrades of equipment and improvements to
curriculum must be addressed. Demonstrate the ability of the proposed equipment
purchase to increase productivity of the participating private businesses and other
entities, and support training and education programs.
Income and expense projections indicate the project is sustainable, including any
necessary computer upgrades. The mobile learning systems should remain viable for at least
ten years and curriculum will be updated annually using Sinclair’s standard processes.
Technicians at the Sinclair Courseview Campus will include normal day-to-day maintenance
and set-up activities when learning systems are rotated as part of their regular operations.
There will be sufficient margins to create a fund for the long term, staggered
replacement of equipment and ongoing operations. This is based on an estimate of a 10%
increase in trainees served each year. The following income and expense statement
summarizes the three-year business plan, showing that this program is sustainable in the longterm.

a significant market for training beyond the project partners. Examples of other Warren County
manufacturers employing industrial automation include:

Intelligrated—a leading single-source provider of intelligent automated material handling
solutions

Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, Inc.—manufacturer of starters, alternators,
ignition systems, audio and navigation systems

Rhinestahl Corporation—manufacturer of tools for repair and inspection of gas turbine
engines, aircraft ground-support tools, and inspection borescopes

FANUC Robotics—produces products and services for robotics, CNC systems, and
factory automation solutions
These companies were not approached during the planning phase but will be contacted
upon project funding, as will additional manufacturing companies located within and around
Warren County. Potential enrollments from additional companies are not included in the income
and expense statement projections, but income generated from additional enrollments will
provide a larger margin to maintain on-going operations of the training program and enhance
overall sustainability.
Also not included in income and expense calculations are (1) industry cost savings due
to a more efficient, better educated workforce, and (2) savings resulting from Warren County
area employers sending their employees to a local training facility, as opposed to one in Dayton
or Eaton, which require a 90 minute round trip drive. The equipment will increase the
productivity of participating businesses by enabling facilitation of a competency-based
curriculum based on the skills most needed in a local institution, while also minimizing the time
lost for training. However, these income projections are difficult to quantify.
5. EMERGING INDUSTRIES
Justification addressing unique significance of equipment to an emerging industry
impacting occupations of need and supply chain relationships in the region supporting
the emerging industry.
The Warren County Economic Development association, the regional economic
development organization that represents 13 counties in Southwestern Ohio (including Warren
County), has agreed to promote the proposed training to area companies. They will place
particular emphasis on emerging industries and companies considering locating to the area. To
promote the training, the Alliance will conduct the following activities:



Include the training as a topic in meetings with new and emerging companies
Provide links to the training registration process on the web page
Publish articles about the training in newsletters
In addition, the primary employer partner, Makino, supports the work of entrepreneurs in
aerospace and medical manufacturing. Makino manufactures equipment like the T1 5-axis
horizontal machining center, designed to allow cutting of large pieces of hard and soft metal in
nearly any shape and ideally suited to the work done in aerospace and medical manufacturing
industries. Supporting Makino will enable other local companies to thrive and grow.

6. NEW COMPANY FORMATION AND JOB PLACEMENT
The project is consistent with the strategy of the Warren County Economic Development
Association. Advanced materials and advanced manufacturing represent two of the four key
industry sectors identified for the region. The Warren County Economic Development
Association, in collaboration with local chambers such as the Mason Chamber of Commerce, is
working to attract manufacturers to the region. High quality training opportunities to ensure a
skilled workforce are an integral component of this strategy. Professional staff from the Warren
County Economic Development agency will use the new training opportunity to recruit new
companies to the county.
7. INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION
This project leverages curriculum developed through a U.S. Department of Labor grant
by a consortium of Sinclair Community College and three other colleges and vocational schools,
ten One-Stop and economic development organizations, and over thirty manufacturers.
This project involves intra-collaboration at Sinclair Community College involving three
distinct, separate cost centers at Sinclair: the Workforce Development division, the regional
Centers and the Science, Engineering, and Mathematics division. Science, Engineering, and
Mathematics, a credit-focused division, and Workforce Development, which provides non-credit
offerings, will work together to serve a broad range of students while leveraging state
infrastructure investments.

Dear Dr. Johnson:
The Warren County Office of Economic Development is pleased to offer support to

The proposed project will provide critical training, education, and credentials to increase

In support of the project, the Warren County Office of Economic Development will
continue to provide a robust Business Retention and Expansion program; directing
company incumbent needs/leads to Sinclair Community College as a valued educational

promote incumbent training growth, allowing companies the opportunity to expand within
the County and to open additional career opportunities to displaced individuals through
incumbent promotion.
The project period is April 2014 through June 2015. I understand that my participation
