What is OTC+?

The Ohio Technical Center Plus (OTC+) program allows Career-Technical Education Providers and Ohio Technical Centers to work together to provide access to high-quality career-technical education (CTE) that meets the needs of Ohio’s workforce.

Through this program, eligible high school students can participate at no cost, as tuition is covered through Career-Technical Education (CTE) funding.

This program offers flexibility for students who may not be able to enroll in courses at their high school due to:

Course capacity limits
Scheduling conflicts
Lack of course offerings
Lack of qualified instructors
Limited facilities

OTC+ allows schools to customize opportunities while giving students access to industry-recognized credential programs through Ohio Technical Centers.
