As a registered apprenticeship sponsor for the state of Ohio, Edison State provides students with the opportunity to earn while they learn, while employers can enjoy a bounty of advantages. Participation in the apprenticeship program allows employers to recruit more strategically, and with 16-week job assignments tailored to employer needs, productivity is enhanced even as staff workload is reduced. Also, apprenticeships can add to the bottom line directly: Employers are potentially eligible to receive federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds and Work Opportunity Tax credits.

If students are unable to achieve their educational goals through existing programs, Edison’s ATS allows them to develop an individualized technical program with the guidance of an academic advisor. Also, Edison's partnerships with other training institutions, such as the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology, allow students to incorporate credits from other institutions to apply toward an Edison Associate’s Degree.

This Ohio-funded program provides access to higher tech skills without higher costs. Using Edison State as a training partner, employers may qualify for reimbursement for up to $2,000 in training costs per job. While Edison State offers numerous certificates—in Engineering and Manufacturing, Health Sciences and Information Technology—the college works closely with employers to develop custom solutions for any training need.

Franklin University’s new co-location at Edison State opens a strategic expansion of the talent pipeline for the healthcare workforce in Troy. Now, students can complete 3 years of healthcare training at Edison State before finishing the fourth and final year at the co-location or through Franklin’s online program.
