The Manufacturing Mentorship Program ("Program") was created by the Ohio Legislature in 2019 with the enactment of section 4109.22 of the Ohio Revised Code. By participating in the Program, minors who are sixteen or seventeen years of age obtain real-world experience in manufacturing occupations. Similarly, employers are provided an opportunity to develop a greater workforce pipeline for manufacturers in the state. In order to participate in the Program, an employer must meet the requirements of rules 4101:9-2-02.1 and 4101:9-2-02.2 of the Ohio Administrative Code as outlined in the MMP Compliance Checklist.
