Amounts

“Employers with successful applications may be reimbursed for up to $1,000 per employee, per credential, with a maximum award of $30,000 per application period, when eligible employees successfully earn an approved technology-focused credential.”

How TechCred Works

  1. “Develop Training Plan – Employers identify the skills their workforce needs and review the approved credential list to find programs that align with those needs and business goals.”
  2. “Apply – Employers apply during an open application period.”
  3. “Get Approved – The Ohio Department of Development reviews and awards funding.”
  4. “Provide Training – Employers pay for employees to complete an eligible credential program.”
  5. “Earn – Employees successfully complete training and achieve the approved credential.”
  6. “Submit Reimbursement Request – Employers request reimbursement.”

Eligible costs

“Employers may be reimbursed for expenses covering tuition, lab fees, manuals, textbooks, and certification costs, up to $1,000 per person per credential, with a maximum award of $30,000 per application period. Costs must be incurred by the employer, not the employee.”

Ineligible costs

“Ineligible costs for TechCred reimbursements include, but are not limited to, training bundles, subscriptions, memberships, training libraries, conferences, software platforms, and user license agreements. Additionally, wages, travel related expenses, and hardware or equipment are not eligible.”

When training can start

“Training must start no earlier than the first day of the application period and be completed within 12 months of the award date.”

Review time

“Please allow up to 90 days after the closure of the application period for the review process to be completed and for eligibility notifications to be issued.”

Training providers

“TechCred does not endorse or recommend any specific training provider. The eligible list simply identifies providers that meet eligibility requirements.”

“It is the employer’s responsibility to review and confirm that the course content, length, and instructional approach offered by the training provider meet the employer’s needs before enrolling employees in the training.”
