"There are lots of job training programs for people who are unemployed," Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted tells, "but when you have sustained low unemployment like this in the country and Ohio, your future workforce is your present workforce — we need to find a way to upskill them."
Participants must apply to the program, and applications are scored competitively based on several factors. One factor is how much the employer expects to raise the worker's wages after completing the program, whether that's through a raise, change of job function or promotion. TechCred completed its first round of applications in October 2019, and state funds were awarded to 1,576 workers from 234 employers. Its second round of applications closed in January, and Husted expects more funding will be distributed throughout the year.Grob Systems is a German-owned manufacturing company with 560 employees at a machine shop in Bluffton, Ohio.
The hope is that, while these additional courses may be outside the Grob apprenticeship curriculum, trainees will bring the new skill or certification into their future jobs with the company, Reed adds.
