In Ohio and nationally, there’s a mismatch between in-demand jobs and workers trained to fill them.
By the year 2025, 60 percent of Americans will need credentials beyond a high school diploma – whether a college degree or high-skills training, according to Lumina Foundation’s 2019 Strong Nation report. However, the report found fewer than 45 percent of Ohioans have the right kind of training to fill them.
COVID-19 has posed a number of challenges to workers and rendered some positions obsolete. From Here to Career highlights fields that are continuing to grow in spite of the pandemic.
In the From Here to Career video series, we hear from young people who have found a path to an in-demand career and their stories of how they got there. Each episode is uniquely told demonstrating the various ways to gain skill training toward employment or better employment.
From Here to Career is a series of videos produced by Ohio American Graduate Getting to Work public media stations. These stories are produced by WOSU Public Media, CET in Cincinnati and ideastream in Cleveland. Learn more at the national American Graduate website.
