How Does TechCred Work?

• Employers will need to identify the specific, technology-centric qualifications they need, as well as the number of employee(s) they want to upskill.

• To qualify for reimbursement of training costs, the employer must partner with a training provider and apply online. Individuals must be Ohio residents with a verifiable Ohio address.

• The state will reimburse up to $2,000 of training costs per credential upon completion.

• Employers are eligible to receive up to $30,000 per funding round.

• Training must be completed within 12 months of the award date.
