Upskill your workforce with TechCred
The TechCred program strengthens Ohio's skilled workforce by reimbursing employers who help their employees earn industry-recognized technology credentials. Boosting Ohio's technology-focused talent pool is an important goal of the program. See the current list of approved credentials at EHOVE in Construction Technology, Healthcare Technology, Manufacturing Technology & Robotic/Automation.

Key Details:

  • Businesses identify the technology-centric qualifications they need and the employee(s) they want to upskill.

  • Credentials take a year or less to complete, and they prepare current and future employees for in-demand technology jobs.

  • The state will reimburse up to $2,000 per credential upon completion. There is no longer a limit of one reimbursement per employee in each funding round.

  • Employers partner with a training provider and apply online to qualify for reimbursement. 

  • According to program guidelines, employers may receive up to $30,000 per funding round. Businesses of all sizes are eligible.

  • An initial list of eligible credentials is available online. Employers may request that a credential be added to the eligibility list.
