Ohio's statewide workforce system
OhioMeansJobs connects employers with job seekers, workforce programs, and labor market data. The Medina County OhioMeansJobs office provides free job posting, candidate referrals, and access to hiring programs specifically for Medina County employers. On-the-job training (OJT) subsidies, where the county reimburses a portion of wages while a new hire gets up to speed, are coordinated through this office.
Reimburse your team's tech credentials
Ohio TechCred reimburses up to $2,000 per employee per credential for tech-focused certifications and training. The program covers 150+ credentials in IT, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and data. Employers apply quarterly and get reimbursed after employees complete approved credentials. There's no cap on total credentials, a business with 20 employees could receive $40,000 in a single round.
Train employees you already have
The Ohio Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher Program provides up to $4,000 per employee for training existing workers. The program targets skills upgrades that allow businesses to increase wages or move employees into higher-productivity roles. Applications open periodically, check Ohio Development's site for current round timing.
