Ohio In-Demand Jobs Week to Highlight Opportunities

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The seventh annual In-Demand Jobs Week, which celebrates the top jobs, industries and skills across Ohio, will take place May 6-10.

“Whether you are completing a certification, learning a new skill or moving up in your career, Ohio’s broad range of in-demand jobs means Ohio is truly the heart of opportunity,” Gov. Mike DeWine said. “I encourage students and all Ohioans to attend an In-Demand Jobs Week event and explore all the options in your community.”

In-Demand Jobs Week is designed to promote the state’s most in-demand and fastest-growing industries through statewide hiring, education and training events. This year’s theme is “Ohio, the Heart of Opportunity,” highlighting the various opportunities available now and in the future in the state.

“For this year’s In-Demand Jobs Week, we’re focusing on the fact that here in Ohio, we make the things the world needs to live and thrive,” Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said. “From the food you eat, to the cars you drive, to the trucks that deliver it, to the airplanes that fly it, to the cloud that connects us all, to the chips that power our devices. Whether you are looking to start a new career or advance in your current one, there is opportunity here for you.” 

During the week, business, community and education leaders are encouraged to host events to demonstrate the opportunities that are available in their community and industry. To register an event as an official In-Demand Jobs Week event, click HERE.
