The current TechCred application period opened on May 2 and will close on Tuesday, May 31 at 3:00 p.m. Businesses with employees who have completed their approved TechCred training should complete the reimbursement process at TechCred.Ohio.gov.
“TechCred continues to help Ohio businesses upskill their workforce, while also providing a great opportunity for Ohioans to develop new, tech-infused skills so they can be more competitive,” said Lt. Governor Husted. “This is the second application period in a row that over 4,000 credentials were approved for funding, showing that this program has become a huge asset for businesses and their employees.”

Businesses of all sizes are utilizing the program, with 95 new employers joining the program for the first time this round.
“TechCred is helping Ohio businesses upskill their workforce,” said Lydia Mihalik, Director of the Ohio Department of Development. "Employees are expanding their skills, and employers are getting the talent they need to grow their business."
With the approvals announced today, a total of 1,822 Ohio employers have been approved for funding through the TechCred program, supporting the earning of 40,824 tech-focused credentials by employees.
“The education and upskilling received through the TechCred program has allowed these Ohio workers to progress in their career while giving employers the pipeline of skilled workers needed for continued success,” said Ohio Department of Higher Education Chancellor Randy Gardner.

Grassland CRP Signup
Signup for the Grassland provisions of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will run through May 13, 2022.
This is a working grasslands provision of CRP that allows landowners to offer hay and/or pasture acres that will remain in forage production for a 10 or 15 year contract period (subject to certain restrictions during the nesting season of March 1 through July 15). While this program benefits acreage being used for hay and pasture, the program can also apply to fields simply being maintained in grass cover.
To discuss the program in more detail or to make an appointment to talk about the program, call the Jackson-Vinton-Scioto-Pike FSA Office at 740-286-5208 extension 2 or 740-259-3075 extension 2.
