Join WIA and Ohio Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation for this informational webinar on Ohio’s TechCred Program: 

What is Ohio TechCred? Ohio's TechCred Program gives employers, within the state of Ohio, the chance to upskill current and future employees in today’s tech-infused economy. Employers who submit successful applications will be reimbursed up to $2,000 per credential per employee when current or prospective employees complete eligible technology-focused credentials.  

How can 5G training up-skill your work force? The Wireless Infrastructure Association, WIA, provides qualified industry recognized credentials in 5G readiness through Telecommunication Education Center (TEC). These credentials will lead to the competencies required to understand, plan, and implement telecommunications solutions, including mobile broadband and 5G. Our 5G credentials have been added to the TechCred program and an Ohio-based employer can use this funding to train their current and future workforce.
