Ohio’s government earmarked $50 million of grant funding to help your staff learn AI.

What is TechCred?

It’s a government-sponsored reimbursement opportunity for AI training.

Employers who submit successful applications can receive up to $2,000 per credential when their current or prospective employees complete eligible technology-focused credentials. Ohio will reimburse up to $30,000 per employer per funding period, which means you can get $180,000 per year!
