Initiative: To expand workforce skill development in order to support expanding employment needs.
These expectations have been concisely supported in the following analysis by the Ohio Jobs and Family Services: “In general, the Ohio economy will provide jobs for workers at all educational levels, but individuals with more education and training will enjoy better job opportunities. Growth rates over the 2002-2012 periods will range from 4.7 percent for occupations requiring moderate term on-the job training to 21.7 percent for occupations requiring an associate degree. Education will play a bigger role in the Ohio workplace. All categories that generally require at least postsecondary training are projected to grow faster than the 9.7 percent average for all occupations. Occupations that generally require moderate-term on-the-job training for a worker to achieve average job performance are projected to grow the slowest, reflecting the concentration of many production occupations in declining manufacturing industries.” http://lmi.state.oh.us/proj/ohiojoboutlook.htm
