The Future Starts Now Ohio’s College Credit Plus program gives students grades 7 to 12 the opportunity to complete valuable college coursework for free. BY KRISTEN HAMPSHIRE

ers are adjunct college or university professors, so students don’t have to leave their familiar environment. The best part is the credits are at no cost to students or their families. By the time Kushner started college at Kent State University, she was a year ahead in her coursework — and completed her master’s degree at age 21. By 22, she had earned her CPA license. “It’s a no-brainer,” she says. “If you have the opportunity, then do it. You’ll be so grateful to have any extra time you can in college, whether to get in more courses, have a job on the side or graduate sooner.” The College Credit Plus program launched in 2015, and since that time

more than 5,000 students have completed associate degrees while attending high school. Thousands more each year get a jump on college coursework for four-year degrees that saves both time and money. During the 2020-21 school year, 76,601 students across Ohio participated in the program, says Rebecca Harr, director of College Credit Plus. In 2022, the University of Akron graduated a high school senior with a Bachelor of Science degree in computer information systems. “Students taking advantage of these college courses are not just transferring credits, they are creating degree pathways,” Harr says.

fast-track to a master’s degree in accounting and a career at a global firm started during Jordan Kushner’s junior year at Midview High School in Grafton, when she began taking College Credit Plus courses. “I really liked that I was still able to stay involved with my high school while getting all of the college credit,” says Kushner, who earned 33 transferrable credits from Lorain County Community College. College Credit Plus is the state’s dual-enrollment program that allows students in grades 7 to 12 to earn college and high school credits at the same time. In some cases, high school teach-

The program is expanding student eligibility requirements by admitting students who have a minimum 2.75 GPA and A or B grades in relevant high school coursework. “And we are hearing stories of students who are more likely to participate when they can stay at their high schools and participate with a teacher and classroom they are used to, so colleges and universities have created intentional partnerships with districts to put that framework into place,” Harr says, adding that Ohio is a “very progressive state” in terms of postsecondary options and offering opportunities for students to earn college credits during high school. Kushner, now 26, can attest to how College Credit Plus accelerated her move from the classroom to a career. “I now work in the Cleveland office of Grant Thornton, an international public accounting firm,” she says, “and they have offices around the world.” To learn more, visit ohiohighered.org/ collegecreditplus.

MAKE YOUR COMEBACK The state of Ohio’s College Comeback program encourages students to return to school and finish their degrees in exchange for loan-debt relief. Life happens, and sometimes, that means it gets in the way of college students’ plans to complete their coursework and receive a degree. Family, work, children and finances are just a few of the things that can prompt a halt in education plans. “There are many things that happen in students’ lives and it’s not necessarily their fault,” says Mike Duffey, senior vice chancellor for the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The term “stopped out” is used to describe the situation rather than the negative “drop out,” and around 1.5 million Ohioans have some postsecondary education but no degree or credential to show for it. The Ohio Department of Higher Education’s College Comeback program aims to help those students by

enlisting the help of Ohio colleges and universities that are willing to offer some debt relief in exchange for new tuition. College Comeback provides these institutions a roadmap for re-enrolling students based on the successful Warrior Way Back program launched by Detroit’s Wayne State University in 2018. The Ohio program is voluntary, with about 10 schools currently having some version of it. One example is Cleveland State University’s (Re)connect to College program, which offers up to $5,000 in debt relief for fulltime students with a GPA of 2.0 or higher. (Part-time students may receive up to $2,500 in debt relief.) The College Comeback program also helps colleges face a growing challenge: There are fewer students entering the ranks of higher education than in the past. “College Comeback addresses all of these issues,” Duffey says. “It focuses on re-enrollment, student debt, stopped-out students and total enrollment.”

As Ohio’s institutions of higher education prepare a return to the sort of social experience students had prior to the pandemic, they are also embracing new modes of educating and counseling that have proven valuable during the past two years. BY RUTH CORRADI BEACH

COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO

he beginning of the 2022-23 school year at colleges and universities across Ohio will bring with it a return to campus life as we knew it prior to the pandemic. But normal won’t look the same as it did before. Although masks are gone, some of what was added and learned during the pandemic is here to stay — and that is a good thing, as far as opportunities for students goes. If there is any positive to the upheaval experienced since 2020, perhaps it is that schools discovered, by necessity, that there are different ways to do things.

Students at the University of Toledo take part in a campus event — one of the social cornerstones of the college experience.

COLLEGE 101 • SUMMER-FALL 2022

ommunity colleges such as Cuyahoga Community College in northeast Ohio have long served students seeking flexibility in their higher-education journey, but the pandemic has led Tri-C to focus on being even more versatile than before. “Our traditional views on what’s normal is nothing like our new normal,” explains Karen Miller, provost at Cuyahoga Community College. “The way [community colleges] thought about delivering education: traditionally fully online or on the ground, traditionally 12 credits per semester … Expectations are different in terms of what students want.” This is true in part because students, as well as the institutions they attend, have seen what’s possible and are now reluctant to go back. This is especially true with online offerings. Tri-C, like many other community colleges, has also long provided coursework delivered to suit nontraditional schedules, but Miller says increased demand has in turn increased Tri-C’s focus on offering them. “We have opportunities for these groups and courses,” Miller says, “but

“When you have to quickly shift to online, ready or not, you learn,” says Tom Perry, vice president for communication and brand management at Marietta College, a private, four-year college in Marietta, Ohio. “We’ve learned what we liked doing and want to get back to. We’re going to keep some of those [new] elements and, at the same time, we’re trying to grow some of those pieces, trying to improve in those areas.” For Marietta College, a small institution where students typically complete an undergraduate degree via four years of full-time study, the pandemic provided new insight into students who desire to go a different route. “We’re realizing that there is a market out there for students who want the remote experience, and that realization maybe opens us up to markets we didn’t reach before, students who maybe started at a place like ours and realize that with just a couple more years of online work they could have a degree,” Perry says. He adds that the school also learned from students who didn’t want to come back to campus right away once in-person instruction restarted. It was a small group of students, he adds, but the college realized it needed to take steps in order not to lose them. Administrators also began to consider how they could create more offerings to draw in students beyond those seeking the traditional in-person, full-time, four-year experience. “The pandemic got us to ask, ‘Are there online graduate degrees we can offer? What are new things we can do that are online that don't require someone to be here?’ Maybe in the form of badges or credentials, four- or six-week courses online. The pandemic opened our eyes to the fact that we can do it.” The flexibility that colleges across Ohio have been embracing gives students options, particularly when it comes to balancing their education with work in an era of historically low unemployment and tapping into online access to student services such as counseling and advising. But alongside this, colleges are also looking to reacquaint their students with the social traditions that have long been at the core of the on-campus experience. This fall, institutions across the state will be looking to balance both.

COURTESY OF MARIETTA COLLEGE

traditionally we hadn’t put an emphasis on marketing them as a priority to students because it wasn’t what they were looking for. We always had options for evening or weekend courses for working students, and we have a fully online associate degree. [Enrollment in that] is growing more than it ever has.” Miller notes that students in the workforce now have more job options than they did before the pandemic, and this changing employment landscape has required higher education to adapt. “We’re competing with higher wages, lots of job options, so we don’t have the expectation that things are going to be back to normal,” Miller notes. Instead, she says, Tri-C is collaborating with workplaces to offer students specific skills they can use right away in already-identified jobs. “Health careers are in great demand, engineering and IT, and with Intel coming to Columbus, we’re already talking with partner institutions in northeast Ohio about creating pathways for students in associate to bachelor’s programs to specifically fit the needs of Intel,” Miller says. “We’ll be talking to a lot of students to create collaborations, and many employers have talked about the need for it.” New fields have risen in popularity, Miller adds, explaining that more students are seeking to gain entrepreneurial and social media skills that support their desire to launch a business. Student services — such as counseling, academic advising and career advising — also underwent a massive shift during the pandemic, and faculty and staff at the University of Toledo found that online options were so popular that they will continue. “A lot of student supplemental services are now offered in a variety of modes,” says Adrienne King, vice president for marketing and communications at the University of Toledo. “If it’s more convenient to meet with a success coach remotely, [the coach is] happy to do that.” Miller says the pandemic proved not only that there was a desire for such options at Tri-C, but also that faculty and staff could provide them. “We will continue to maintain hybrid availability across a lot of our student services,” she says. “Whatever works best for the student is how we will provide it.”

Cuyahoga Community College (opposite page) has expanded hybrid availability of its supplemental services. Students take part in Marietta’s Doo Dah Day tradition (above).

oursework flexibility and online offerings are great, but what about the in-person moments that are at the heart of the college experience? The times of isolation brought on by the pandemic and how students reacted positively to their return to campus only reinforced the importance of this social aspect. King says some of the adversities brought on by the pandemic underscored just what the University of Toledo community is all about. “Our campus infection rates consistently remained below local community rates,” she says. “Our students rallied as a community to keep everyone safe.” She adds that the adherence to safety protocols allowed students to be more engaged in campus life, which to them became valuable to protect. “We’ve seen the implications of isolation on mental health,” King says. “We are an in-person institution. There are some courses that were online before, and we see that there are options to serve more communities in online master’s or graduate programs, but online is not who we are really at University of Toledo.” Marietta College is also focused on getting students back into the campus vibe. Perry notes that because learning was interrupted for high schoolers, too, colleges must focus on the needs of incoming students. “For the next few years, every student coming in will have come through some sort of COVID experience, no matter what that is,” he points out. “That’s going to be an even bigger adjustment when going to campus life. It can be overwhelming.” Perry says that means Marietta College will have more conversations with students to gauge their comfort and concerns and continue to dedicate resources to ensuring that transition to campus life and the college workload is a positive one. “The need for mental-health care has become ever more apparent, more crystal clear to us,” he says, “and that’s not going to be changing anytime soon.” Perry also points out that even once students are acclimated to the on-campus experience, the fact that the students before them missed out on long-held traditions will have consequences for those who are new to the school. “We have a lot of traditions, fun activities,” Perry says. “We’ve been mask-optional on campus since about February, and always in-person except that small window in the spring of 2020, but there were still traditional, typical college things we couldn’t do.” Students were together in dorms and class, but the social parts weren’t there, and traditions need someone to carry them on. One such example at Marietta College is Doo Dah Day, a campuswide party that had taken place the Friday before spring finals week since 1973. Because it wasn’t held in 2020 and was scaled back in 2021, many current Marietta College students have never experienced it. “It’s organized by students, supported by the college, but now it’s up to us to remind them to keep doing it, to educate them on what it used to be,” Perry says. “The same goes for bringing back other traditions.”

STEM careers that the Choose Ohio First Program has focused on for the last 14 years.” In many ways, Ohio has been building up for a landmark company arrival like this, and a variety of interconnected programs to fund the jobs of the future are helping create promising career paths for students while supplying businesses’ workforce needs. For students and workers, this means access to scholarships, grants and other resources that can help them secure the education, credentials and additional skills needed to succeed in a constantly evolving employment landscape.

hio could be the Silicon Heartland — and it will be home of the world’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing site within the next decade. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says the Buckeye State has the talent, infrastructure and economic climate to support the $20-billion megaproject in Licking County. “It’s the largest economic development project in the history of the state of Ohio,” says Rachel Johanson, deputy director at the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation. The project will generate more than 20,000 jobs, from 3,000 Intel positions to 7,000 jobs during construction. Overall, the project is expected to add $2.8 billion to the state’s annual gross state product, according to JobsOhio. “It’s interesting because the workforce needs outlined by Intel are not that surprising and are initiatives Ohio has been investing in for a long time,” Johanson points out. “Those include in-demand jobs like technicians, engineers and other

students to earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking courses from Ohio colleges and universities. “Students can get connected right away to important avenues for lucrative employment moving forward,” explains Cheryl Rice, vice chancellor, higher education workforce alignment for the Ohio Department of Higher Education. Other efforts aim to make a more immediate difference in boosting workforce needs. For fiscal year 2023, the state is providing $3.5 million to community colleges and Ohio technical centers to fund scholarships for students seeing in-demand certifications. “These short-term pathways that lead to credentials are essential for our business community,” Rice explains. “We focus on what jobs are regionally in demand.” The state’s TechCred program (see page 15 for more information) supports employers by providing funding they can use to help their employees learn new and needed skills.

Workers benefit from the program by building more expertise. Through this holistic approach to workforce development, the state has deployed its resources in a way that helps workers land jobs that pay well and attracts more industry. It’s a cycle of success: Grow talent, draw in businesses, upskill workers, fuel economic growth. “We have seen estimates that Ohio needs about 107,000 people to work in the broadband 5G deployment industry over the next few years,” Johanson says. “Looking at our workforce, we formed an industry sector partnership around broadband, so we can focus on what exact training we will need to get and where in the state.” In the case of Intel, the tech giant plans to invest around $100 million in partnership with Ohio universities, community colleges and the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop the skilled talent it will need in Ohio. This will fund everything from collaborative research projects to creating

COLLEGE 101 • SUMMER-FALL 2022

curricula for associate and undergraduate degree programs. The Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Choose Ohio First program also provides support for Intel’s workforce needs. During the last round of funding, the state invested $43 million with 44 Ohio institutions to reinforce these specific courses and academic programs, according to Rice. The initiative also encourages colleges and universities to seek student diversity in their STEM programs and forge connections between those studying these fields and the business sector. “When recruiting students,” Rice says, “we want to look at underrepresented populations and also integrate work-based learning while they are in their programs, so they become well connected to the business community upon graduation.”

IN-DEMAND JOBS

The state is actively involved in attracting workers for in-demand jobs, which currently range from educators to CDL truck drivers. To help draw people to these fields, the state earmarked $2.5 million for 30 schools where students can earn a Commercial Driver’s License and $5.2 million to address the educator workforce shortage. The state’s programs are designed to provide a link between the education and business worlds, and these collaborations are even more important now given the historically low unemployment rate in Ohio, and the fact that businesses are really trying to find workers. “We just launched our CDL program, which allows individuals interested in getting a CDL to be recruited by com-

panies across the state that have been approved by the Department of Public Safety and chancellor [of the Ohio Department of Higher Education],” Rice says. The program has scholarship and loan components. For example, if a CDL program costs $6,000, the student is eligible for a $3,000 grant and a $3,000 loan. “Upon completion of the program and obtaining the CDL, an individual will be employed by a truck-driving company with an Ohio address to work for one full year, and then the loan portion will be forgiven,” Rice explains. “So, the student could, in fact, get their entire program paid for.” The teacher scholarship program was awarded to 29 public and independent colleges with educator-preparation programs approved by the chancellor. “These will help address immediate needs and it targets a population that could enter the teaching profession within one to two years,” Rice says. “We are hoping this spurs teachers to finish [their education] or encourages students to select the field so we can increase the pipeline of licensed schoolteachers in the state.” Students can also check for jobs that are in demand at the state’s Top Jobs List directory online. What makes a job in-demand? It must have a salary of 80% of the state median wage and annual job growth that is higher than the statewide average or annual job openings higher than the statewide average.

SKILLS UPGRADE Ohio’s TechCred program offers funding that helps businesses train employees and provides opportunity in an ever-changing technological world. BY KRISTEN HAMPSHIRE

ISTOCK

PT Manufacturing’s founder and CEO Tony Nighswander is giving students the type of opportunity he had as a high school student, which led him to a rewarding career as the owner of a quickly growing high-tech manufacturer. He attended vocational school for welding, completed an apprenticeship in tool and die, and started APT Manufacturing in Hicksville in 1996. Today, Ohio’s TechCred grant program supports the company’s robust high school and postsecondary apprenticeship programs. “They can see the career path,” Nighswander says. “We live in a small farming community with great workers, and I didn’t want to lose those students. … We can keep them here and give them an opportunity and that has really paid off.” APT Manufacturing grew by 50 workers during a threeyear period and now employs 100 skilled employees who specialize in areas such as toolmaking, automation assembly, mechanical and electrical engineering, electrical and robotic programming, and quality control. Upskilling workers to fulfill advancing technological needs requires investment in time, training and people. For many employers, those three assets become obstacles to providing their workers continuing education. The TechCred program, which is entering its 14th round of funding, fills a gap by funding 4,000 tech-focused credentials. “It’s a win-win, because the business trains employees in new skills and the employees earn a credential they can take with them and always use it in the future,” says Rachel Jo-

hanson, deputy director at the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation. Employers that had put off training due to budgetary constraints are unlocking opportunity through the program. “Having to pay for it was impacting some employers’ ability to grow their businesses because of the financial burden,” Johanson says. Businesses of all sizes across the state can benefit from the program. The state reimburses up to $2,000 per credential and up to $30,000 per business per round of funding. Rounds are distributed on a bimonthly basis. There are three requirements: credentials are tech focused, short term and industry recognized. Within those parameters, training needs are quite diverse. “It can be anything from a manufacturer providing training for a new machining technique to a technology company needing data analytics — or any company, even outside of the technology sector, that has a tech position that needs a tech credential,” Johanson says. Many of the trainings can be completed online, and all take one year or less to complete — a fast track to preparing current and future employees for in-demand jobs. Since the program launched in 2019 out of the Office of Workforce Transformation, more than 1,822 employers have received funding, and employees have earned 40,824 credentials. The program encourages employers to partner with universities, community colleges, technical centers and private providers. In March 2022 alone, 342 Ohio employers were approved for funding with employees earning up to 4,121 credentials. APT Manufacturing has received numerous rounds of TechCred grants to fund its ongoing training program, which is providing opportunities for recent graduates and employees. “Due to our extensive training program, we have been blessed with not needing a ‘help wanted’ sign out front,” Nighswander says.
