OTC+

What is OTC+?

Career-Technical Education Providers and Ohio Technical Centers to collaboratively provide access to high-quality career-technical education (CTE) that meets the needs of Ohio’s workforce.

This program delivery model is intended to provide the flexibility schools need in preparing students for their future when students cannot enroll locally due to course capacity, scheduling conflicts, lack of course offering, lack of qualified instructor, or lack of facilities.

The policy allows for local flexibility and customization providing multiple approaches for implementation. The guidance reflects a broad overview of design, implementation, and reporting of the CTE workforce and industry credential only programs in the location of the Ohio Technical Center.
