There are 236 in-demand occupations in which there are nearly 100,000 openings in Ohio. Many of those careers pay more than $50,000 a year and don’t require a bachelor’s degree.

At one time, career centers (formerly called vocational schools) had second-class reputations, but today they have waiting lists and are being relied on by businesses as a place to find talent for their workforce.

In fact, many traditional high schools are also adopting this curriculum to better serve the needs of their students.
