Lt. Governor Jim Tressel announced a record-breaking month for Ohio’s TechCred program, with 651 employers awarded in the March TechCred application period. These awards will provide an opportunity for Ohioans to earn 8,830 tech-focused credentials, setting new benchmarks for both participation and credential attainment.
Manufacturing leads among the top industries funded, alongside educational services and construction. The data underscores the program’s broad utility across sectors, and its growing role in upskilling employees for Ohio’s evolving, tech-infused economy.
Businesses of all sizes are eligible to receive up to $30,000 per round and up to $180,000 per year to train current and prospective employees. The May application period closes on May 30, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Employers and training providers can learn more and apply at TechCred.Ohio.gov. 5/15/2025
