The third quarter of work with the Ohio Development Services Agency continues to demonstrate visible, positive results in delivering non-redundant, employer designed, and outcome based high-demand job creation. Yet there remains a tremendous opportunity to expand the Digital Works program. As further detailed in this report, this quarter Digital Works:
- Boasted a 95% graduation rate, creating 53 new in-demand jobs in Ohio communities.
- Became an approved provider for Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD).
- Opened and began training classes at two Digital Works centers in Columbus. One at the Reeb Avenue Center as part of the Southside Project with the City of Columbus; one at 6600 Busch Boulevard.
- Grew awareness among employers with 51 employer partners.
