Ohio Workforce Partnerships Receive $5 Million in State Funding to Boost Employment
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, along with Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel and Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik, announced the allocation of over $5 million in funding to 22 workforce partnerships across the state. This funding is part of the Industry Sector Partnership (ISP) Grant Program, which aims to connect Ohioans with in-demand careers in industries such as manufacturing, construction, skilled trades, insurance, information technology, transportation, and healthcare. The initiative focuses on strengthening local talent pipelines by fostering collaboration among employers, educational institutions, workforce organizations, and community leaders. Since 2019, Ohio has invested $22.7 million in these partnerships, which are designed to address regional workforce needs and create long-term opportunities for both employees and employers.
