During In-Demand Jobs Week, Ohio Excels celebrates the students, educators and employers building pathways to our state’s future. Connecting learning to in-demand careers helps every student see what’s possible and helps Ohio’s economy compete, grow and thrive.

Career exploration should not wait until graduation. SB 328 would help students start earlier, with career exposure, aptitude assessment and coaching in middle school.

Great news for Ohio’s aerospace and manufacturing workforce.

Every student who walks across the stage with a diploma is headed to the workforce one way or another. SB 328 is about making sure Ohio students have the skills, direction, and opportunity to contribute and succeed. Hear @senator_koehler explain why that matters.

Students can’t learn if they aren’t in school. Chronic absenteeism was already a serious challenge & the pandemic made it worse. We applaud @GovMikeDeWine for making attendance a priority and using a new dashboard to bring transparency, inform decisions, & support action for kids

[Governor Mike DeWine @GovMikeDeWine]

Today, I was proud to launch @OHEducation’s new Ohio Attendance Dashboard.

This new online tool will give schools and communities faster access to attendance data to help make sure students are in school – ready to learn and reach their full potential!
