Industry-Recognized Credential Review
Help determine which industry-recognized credentials are on Ohio’s list. Ohio Department of Education and the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation request your assistance in the industry-recognized credential review process for Ohio’s high school credential list. A survey has been developed to gather feedback that will be used in determining which credentials are valuable in their respective industries. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Students benefit from learning job-specific skills that can be used to verify skill mastery and educational attainment. Industry-recognized credentials are also valuable to employers, allowing them to validate the knowledge and skills of potential employees and saving valuable time in assessing the competency of job applicants.
The process to review industry-recognized credentials requires business and industry representatives who 1) possess knowledge of the career field and 2) have some understanding of human resource and hiring needs. Reviewers are not required to have prior knowledge of the review process or experience with the list of industry-recognized credentials.
Participate in the industry-recognized credential feedback survey here.
If you have questions regarding the survey or review process, please contact the credential team at IndustryCredentials@education. ohio.gov. Thank you in advance for your commitment to ensuring Ohio’s students are earning credentials of value.

FREE FLU VACCINE
Drive-up Flu Vaccine Clinic
Saturday, November 7th
9:00am to 4:00pm
Geauga County Fairgrounds
Geauga Public Health, University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center, and the Geauga County Fairground Board are collaborating to provide influenza vaccinations to Geauga County residents at a drive-up flu vaccine clinic.
It is especially important to get the seasonal flu shot this year. It will help to reduce the risk of getting the flu as well as reduce risks of potentially more severe responses if someone were to become co-infected with the flu and the virus that causes COVID-19. We are fortunate to have such good partnerships and access to resources as we do here in Geauga County.
Free to Geauga County residents over the age of 18. This is the regular flu shot for adults; not the hi-dose vaccination recommended for seniors. No need to pre-register. Individuals coming for the flu vaccine will remain in their vehicles.
