According to Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, March was a record-breaking month for Ohio’s TechCred program – a total of 651 employers were awarded from the March application period, providing the opportunity for Ohioans to earn 8,830 tech-focused credentials. These figures represent new high-water marks for a single application period in the program’s history.

TechCred helps businesses address their workforce needs by upskilling current and prospective employees with the credentials needed for a tech-infused economy. Top industries funded this round include manufacturing, educational services, and construction, which continues to show that Ohioans working in any industry can use TechCred to upskill. Businesses of all sizes, from any industry, are eligible for up to $30,000 per round and up to $180,000 per year.
