In Ohio, students have the option to graduate high school by earning industry-recognized credentials, certifications, or licenses that are valuable to businesses in lieu of passing state tests.
The list of credentials students can earn is built and maintained by the Ohio Department of Education and is updated annually.
If you’re like many businesses in Ohio, you have open positions and are seeking talented applicants. Fortunately, thousands of students in Ohio graduate with credentials each year, and you can help students prepare for careers in your industry by applying to add a relevant credential to the list.
Applications are due on December 31, 2018. For more information, visit education.ohio.gov or contact [email protected] with questions about the application.
The Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformationappreciates the support of businesses across Ohio as they work to prepare students for careers in industries in our state.
