How Does TechCred Work?

Businesses will identify the specific, technology-centric qualifications they need, as well as the employee(s) they want to upskill. Credentials take a year or less to complete, and they prepare current and future employees for the technology jobs Ohio employers need. The state will reimburse up to $2,000 per credential upon completion. (Limited to one reimbursement per employee in each funding round.) Employers must partner with a training provider and apply online to qualify for reimbursement. Individuals listed in an employer’s application must be Ohio residents with a verifiable address.

According to program guidelines, employers may receive up to $30,000 per funding round. Businesses of all sizes are eligible. The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association strongly supports the provision in Ohio’s new two-year budget that appropriated $30 million to support this credentialing program. The state intends to fund 20,000 credentials over the next two years.
