Ohio TechCred

TechCred helps Ohioans learn new skills and helps employers build a stronger workforce.

Ohio’s TechCred Program gives businesses the chance to upskill current and future employees to help them qualify for a better job in today’s tech-infused economy. Businesses who submit successful applications will be reimbursed up to $1000 per employee, per credential, with a maximum award of $30,000 per application period, when eligible employees successfully earn an approved technology-focused credential.

Which training providers can employers use for credential training?
Eligible training providers include universities, community colleges, technical centers, and private training providers.

Which credentials are eligible?
The list of eligible credentials is available on the credential list page. Only Employers (by demand) can request credentials that meet the eligibility requirements to be added to the list of eligible credentials in the application process. When filling out the application, businesses will choose “Credential Not Listed” and answer a few simple questions about the credential they are suggesting. A panel of experts will then review each additional credential submitted for approval by employers.
