Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted, who serves as director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, announced that the fifth annual In-Demand Jobs Week will take place during the first full week of May, from May 2-6.
“In-Demand Jobs Week is a great chance for businesses to open their doors and showcase the many top jobs, industries, and skills across Ohio,” Governor DeWine said. “The best way to find out if a job is for you is to try it out, and students will have that opportunity to do just that.”
“During In-Demand Jobs Week, we shine a light on career opportunities that give job seekers a path toward new, high-paying jobs in fields where Ohio businesses are hiring immediately,” Lt. Governor Husted said. “This year, we are specifically bringing awareness to jobs that pay over $50,000 a year and require less than a year of training, giving Ohioans a clear path to their next opportunity.”
In-Demand Jobs Week is designed to promote Ohio’s most in-demand and fastest-growing industries through statewide hiring, education, and training events. This year, In-Demand Jobs Week will highlight Ohio’s top jobs that pay more than $50,000 per year and don’t require a degree or years of training – just a credential.
To learn more about these job opportunities and the financial assistance available to earn a credential, visit OhioMeansJobs.com or contact your local OhioMeansJobs center.
During In-Demand Jobs Week, businesses, education providers, community organizations, and more are encouraged to plan events that will inspire students and job seekers to earn a credential and pursue a job in Ohio. From tours and roundtables to career-tech signing days and job fairs, In-Demand Jobs Week is an opportunity to highlight what Ohio has to offer.
Organizations can visit TopJobs.Ohio.gov to add their event to the official In-Demand Jobs Week map. Individuals interested in attending an event can use the 2022 event map to find opportunities nearby
