Dublin Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on January 10.
Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted, director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, urges businesses to take advantage of the latest application round for TechCred.
The application period opened Monday, Jan. 3, and closes at 3 p.m. Jan. 31.
Since 2019, 1,615 Ohio employers have been approved for funding, supporting the earning of 32,269 tech-focused credentials by Ohio employees.
Starting with this January round, the following updates have been implemented to provide additional flexibility for businesses:
• Grant agreements will no longer be separate documents; they will be incorporated into the online application portal.
• Training for approved credentials may start on or after the first day of the month immediately following the last application period. Training programs must still be completed in less than 12 months from the award date.
Businesses with employees who have completed their TechCred training should submit proof of credential completion to receive reimbursement at TechCred.Ohio.Gov.
