Find and Sustain a Talented Workforce in Ohio
JobsOhio recognizes the challenges organizations face when trying to find, hire, and train a qualified workforce, and understands that a company thrives when its talent thrives. In an effort to help businesses in high demand industries like advanced manufacturing and technology, JobsOhio has created a multi-faceted approach to assisting Ohio companies in targeted, strategic partnerships. JobsOhio helps navigate the plentiful and professional workforce partners in Ohio and invests in increasing a skilled talent pool through key strategies for recruiting top talent, upskilling incumbent workers, and reskilling workers for the jobs of the future.
The JobsOhio Talent Acquisition Services program (TAS) has been developed to identify a company’s talent challenges and build sustainable talent strategies that provide support at every stage of the candidate journey. From employer brand building and attraction to screening and training, the TAS program provides a customized approach based on the company’s needs.
Neither a grant nor a loan, the TAS program is a unique partnership between JobsOhio and companies that are expanding within, or are new to, Ohio.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the displacement of many Ohio workers, creating difficult situations for individuals, their families, and employers. To assist with recovery efforts, JobsOhio in conjunction with Governor Mike DeWine, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the Ohio Department of Development, the Office of Workforce Transformation, and the Ohio Department of Higher Education developed Ohio To Work, an innovative statewide initiative.
Through Ohio To Work, JobsOhio unified a statewide coalition of existing workforce partners to offer customized support to job seekers through connections with training providers, career coaches and resources, and local employers in the manufacturing, healthcare and technology industries.
Although Ohio To Work officially ended on December 31, 2022, its critical work of connecting employers and job seekers lives on through the local workforce development networks it established across Ohio.
