Zane State College was proud to take part in today's launch of the JobsOhio Technician Path, a new statewide initiative aimed at closing Ohio's technician talent gap, hosted by the Zanesville-Muskingum County Chamber of Commerce
President Joseph Keating. joined leaders from JobsOhio and Ohio SE in Zanesville for the regional rollout of this program, which will provide Ohio employers up to $10,000 per employee who completes an approved technician training pathway, whether through an associate degree, a technical certificate, or a registered apprenticeship.
Right now, for every trained technician in Ohio, five technician positions go unfilled. The Technician Path is designed to close that gap by connecting employers directly with training partners like Zane State across advanced manufacturing, life sciences, aerospace and defense, and other high-demand fields.
We're proud to stand alongside JobsOhio and OhioSE in building the skilled workforce Southeastern Ohio needs, and to keep serving as a training partner employers and students can count on.
