Ohio state government comes to Bluffton on Monday
Ohio’s state government comes to Bluffton on Monday morning.
Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, and OhioSenate President Larry Obhof, will visit and tour GROB Systems, Bluffton, at 9:30 a.m.
During the visit, they will sign House Bill 2, which codifies the TechCred and Industry Sector Partnerships programs and creates the Individual Microcredential Assistance Program.
The 21-page bill is attached at the bottom of this story.
This is the first visit to Bluffton by an Ohio governor since then-Gov. Ted Strickland, visited Bluffton University following the baseball bus accident.
According to the governor’s office, Ohio’s TechCred Program help Ohioans learn new skills and helps employers build a stronger workforce with the skills needed in a technology-infused economy.
These technology-focused credentials take a year or less to complete and prepare current and future employees for the technology jobs Ohio employers need.
Also attending the signing is Jon Cross, a primary sponsor of the bill. Robert Cupp, member of the House, and Matt Huffman, member of the senate, are both co-signers of the bill.
Michael Hutecker, CEO of Grob Systems, Inc., will also be present at the bill signing.
