For continued business growth in Ohio, it is important that training providers, educators, and workforce professionals know the future hiring needs of employers. Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted are encouraging Ohio businesses to participate in this year’s In-Demand Jobs Survey to provide feedback on the state’s In-Demand Jobs List, which helps drive the state and federal investments in our workforce.
The survey is open to all registered Ohio businesses, giving small and large businesses alike the opportunity to have a voice in how Ohio prepares people for the current workforce. A top priority remains to maintain an accurate and useful In-Demand Jobs List, and to do that, we need your help. Your feedback will directly shape Ohio's workforce priorities.
Businesses can fill out the In-Demand Jobs Survey at TopJobs.Ohio.gov/Survey through October 8th. Make sure you have your business’s FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) before beginning the survey. This number can be found on previous tax returns.
Thank you in advance for your participation in shaping Ohio's In-Demand Jobs List.
