The Find Your Career Pathway” video and toolkit aim to guide students in their educational journey to land a successful career in Ohio. Ohio is prioritizing opportunities for students to earn industry-recognized credentials that can fuel their success after high school. Industry partners play an integral role in how the list is formed and validated to ensure students are earning credentials that Ohio’s industries value.​
The Department requests that educators share this brief survey with business and industry partners to gather feedback that is used to determine which credentials are valuable in their respective industries.
Business and industry representatives can share their feedback in the industry-recognized credential feedback survey.
