Overview:
Ohio’s new TechCred program gives employers, including public libraries, the chance to teach new skills to current and future employees for today’s tech-driven economy. Current or prospective employers who submit successful applications will be reimbursed up to $2,000 per credential when a current or future employee completes eligible credentials related to technology. Employers of all sizes and industries that employ Ohio resident W-2 staff are eligible to apply.

Qualifying credentials take a year or less to complete and prepare employees for the technology jobs Ohio employers need to fill.

To qualify for reimbursement employers must partner with a training provider and apply online. Individuals listed in an employer’s application must be Ohio residents with verifiable addresses. According to program guidelines, employers may receive up to $30,000 per funding round.

During this webinar, you’ll learn more about the program, how it can benefit public libraries, and how to apply for funding.
