Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted recently announced the 34 schools receiving awards through the second round of the Career Technical Education Equipment Grant Program. With this second round of awards, 6,330 additional Ohio students will have the opportunity to pursue a career technical education.
Awarded schools will use the funding to upgrade their equipment to teach students the skills needed by Ohio businesses. The latest awardees will enhance access to variety of in-demand programs across the state including engineering, manufacturing, construction, and more.

Announced earlier this year, the first application period awarded 57 schools with grants totaling nearly $70 million to expand career technical education access to an additional 10,545 students per year. In total, the two programs will offer new career technical education access to 16,875 students. Of the 91 schools awarded, 58 are considered “traditional” high schools, meaning they previously did not offer career technical education to their students, demonstrating the importance of teaching students the job skills they need to have a successful career in Ohio.
