Ohio Governor John R. Kasich>
More than 122,000 Ohio employees have already been trained through the Ohio Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher Program, and now that number will increase because round four is right around the corner.
“As technology evolves, so does the training needed to keep employees current,” said David Goodman, director of the
Ohio Development Services Agency. “It’s important that employees across the state have the tools they need to succeed.”
Training in the following high-demand fields is eligible: Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace and Aviation, Automotive, Back Office, BioHealth, Corporate Headquarters, Energy, Financial Services, Food Processing, Information Technology and Services, Logistics, Polymers and Chemicals, and Research and Development. Training opportunities include, but are not limited to, operational skills training, certification processes and equipment training. Training can occur at the employer’s facility, at provider’s training facility or at a third-party site.
The Ohio Development Services Agency will reimburse the employer for up to 50 percent of the eligible training costs, up to $4,000 per employee, after 1) the employer pays the full cost of the training, and 2) the employee successfully completes the training. The maximum amount an employer may qualify for in a fiscal year is $100,000. The company must be in operation for at least 12 months in Ohio to participate.
Businesses can
begin the online process on September 28, 2015 and will have more than two weeks to gather the necessary information to complete their application. The online applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and
can be submitted beginning at 10:00 a.m. on October 14, 2015.
