TechCred Ohio

Use TechCred to Support Workforce Training


Ohio’s TechCred Program can help eligible Ohio employers offset the cost of approved technology-focused credentials for qualifying employees. Employers may receive reimbursement of up to $1,000 per employee, per approved credential, subject to program requirements, available funding, and approval by the Ohio Department of Development.

With years of experience providing technology training and working with TechCred-eligible credentials, The Computer Workshop can help simplify the training side of the process. We help organizations identify relevant credentials and training, provide course and credential documentation, enroll employees in class, and provide the records needed to support the employer’s reimbursement process.


From identifying the right training to documenting completed credentials, TCW brings experience and practical support to help organizations make the most of their TechCred opportunity.


The Ohio Department of Development makes final decisions on eligibility, credential approval, awards, and reimbursement. Employers should verify current TechCred requirements before applying or incurring costs.

Information to Know!


Employer and employee eligibility: 
TechCred reimbursement is generally available to qualifying Ohio employers with a physical, non-residential Ohio business location for eligible Ohio-resident W-2 employees.
Independent contractors, 1099 workers, and public entities are not eligible under the current program guidelines. Employers should review the complete Ohio eligibility requirements before applying.

Training for an approved credential must begin within the period permitted by the employer’s TechCred grant agreement and must be completed by the agreement’s end date. Training or costs incurred before award and execution of the grant agreement are undertaken at the employer’s risk.

Eligible expenses may include tuition, lab fees, manuals, textbooks, and certification costs, subject to program limits. Bundles, subscriptions, memberships, training libraries, conferences, software licenses, wages, travel, hardware, and equipment are not eligible. The employer must incur and pay the reimbursable cost.

The Computer Workshop is an independent training provider. Inclusion on an Ohio TechCred eligible-provider or credential list does not constitute endorsement or a guarantee of funding or reimbursement by the State of Ohio. Program requirements, eligible credentials, providers, award amounts, and application dates may change. Employers should confirm current requirements through the Ohio Department of Development before applying or incurring costs.
