Online applications are now available for the next round of the Ohio Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher Program, “an employer-driver program designed to provide direct financial assistance to train workers and improve the economic competitiveness of Ohio’s employers,” according to a recent Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) press release. The program will reimburse an employer for up to 50 percent of eligible training costs, up to $4,000 per employee, after the employee successfully completes the training and the employer has paid for that training in full. Businesses must meet eligibility requirements including operating “as a for-profit entity in a state-designated targeted industry” and 12 months of continuous operation in Ohio. Online applications will be accepted beginning at 10:00 a.m. on October 14, 2016, on a first-come, first-served basis.
