COLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) — The state launched a new online education and career resource Tuesday: the Ohio Career Navigator.
Once Ohioans take a survey on the now-live site hosted by Ohio Means Jobs, they will be connected with public and private sector resources customized for their education and career goals. The survey and navigator can be found on ohiomeansjobs.com.
Lt. Gov Jon Husted announced the tool in Westerville, at a meeting of the Governor’s Executive Workforce Board. More than 30 members sit on the board, ranging from elected officials to union leaders to business executives to education leaders. It was created in 2012 by former Gov. John Kasich and renewed Monday by Gov. Mike DeWine.
Husted said the Ohio Career Navigator offers a centralized site for career readiness and advancement.
“Just like your GPS might guide you with directions to get to a location, this guides you with directions on how to find a career that is good for you,” he said after the meeting.
