Ohio's TechCred Program gives employers the chance to upskill current and future employees, and receive reimbursement for outlays covering tuition, lab fees, manuals, textbooks and certification costs, up to $2,000 per credential.

Any Ohio registered employer that employs Ohio resident W-2 employees is eligible to apply (1099 employees are not eligible). Ohio employers may apply for reimbursement for credentialing of both current and/or prospective employees. Employers will not be required to identify specific individuals on the application for funding but will be required to identify employees who earned the approved credentials when completing the reimbursement request.

To receive reimbursement, the employer must be able to verify that credential earners are Ohio residents with a verifiable Ohio address.
