Ohio Skills Bank

Ohio Skills Bank

"The future of jobs growth in Ohio is in investing in our regional strengths and in making sure we have the most educated, highly skilled workforce possible." –Governor Ted Strickland

Ohio's employers need to remain globally competitive in both the long and short term. In order to do so, they need a skilled talent pool to perform the work that will keep our communities strong throughout the 21st Century. The Ohio Skills Bank will strategically position the state's collection of adult education, training and workforce assets to build pipelines of talented graduates and certificate holders to meet targeted regional economic needs. 

Educators and workforce professionals will work closely with regional employers through the Ohio Skills Bank to align education programs, short-term training opportunities and workforce services that meet both the quantitative and qualitative occupation and skill needs of their employer communities. In the process, the Ohio Skills Bank will promote the principles of demand-driven, sector strategy workforce planning across the state.
