Columbus, Ohio (March 5, 2024) – In a move aimed at simplifying career exploration and advancement for Ohioans, Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted today announced the launch of the “Ohio Career Navigator.” This innovative tool, available on OhioMeansJobs.com, serves as a one-stop-shop for residents seeking resources to acquire in-demand skills, pursue further education, and ultimately achieve their desired career goals.

The tool will continuously evolve based on feedback from users and state agencies, ensuring its continued effectiveness.
“Ohio’s diverse economy offers a multitude of career opportunities to suit various skills and interests,” said Matt Damschroder, Director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. “The Career Navigator joins a vast array of resources readily available at local OhioMeansJobs Centers and the OhioMeansJobs.com website.”
