COLUMBUS - State Representatives Jon Cross (R-Kenton) and Michele Lepore-Hagan (D-Youngstown) today introduced House Bill 2, the Tech Cred Job Training Grant Program. This legislation will create a grant program to support training for in-demand jobs.

The Tech Cred program would be geared toward the incumbent workforce and individuals looking to enter an in-demand field. Businesses and individuals would be eligible to apply. 

“The Tech Cred program will improve Ohio’s job training and workforce development initiatives,” said Representative Cross. “Supporting training for these in-demand jobs is vital to our effort to build a highly-skilled workforce in our Great State.” 

“Investing in working people and giving them the tools they need to compete for tomorrow’s jobs today gives everyday Ohioans the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead, save for the future and pursue their own American Dream—right here at home, in Ohio,” said Representative Lepore-Hagan. 

HB 2 was assigned to the Workforce and Economic Development committee and will await its first hearing.
