In 2019, a comprehensive report by the National Science Board identified a significant need to provide educational upgrades and skills development for what is now called the Skilled Technical Workforce (formerly Blue Collar STEM) in order to make our nation more competitive in the ever-advancing technology-based economy.
The men and women comprising this population are found in every community, with varying levels of college education (if any), with five or more years of job experience, and many have families. At this stage in their lives, they are generally not interested in pursuing traditional college coursework, need online or hybrid learning experiences and skills development that are relatively quick, inexpensive and relevant to career advancement.

Walsh University’s STWF courses:
Walsh University teamed with a group of talented industry professionals/consultants to design and teach this unique curriculum. In doing so, we have created programs that are relevant, highly customized and provide tangible results delivered in a format that is completely unique.
We want to be long-term resource to your business and to your employees. These are not simply traditional, “one-and-done” classes that have minimal short-term impact. These are ongoing business development programs with multiple tiers to serve every level of your organization.
Best of all, as an approved Education Provider for the Ohio TechCred program, employers of Ohio residences are eligible for full tuition reimbursement, allowing us to provide this unique, customized program to most businesses at no cost to the company or the employees.
You spoke and Walsh listened! Our team of consultants discussed with business owners the most effective way to provide value with sustained impact. The majority of the companies agreed that effecting meaningful change would require programming that would catalyze the company to adopt a corporate culture embracing the concepts being a “data-driven” organization.
They didn’t want a “one-and-done” class targeted to one group within the organization. They wanted a program that would be a “top-to-bottom” solution to help the front-line worker, the middle manager and the corporate executives speak the same language, understand the baseline concepts of IoT technologies and/or data analytics and appreciate their role within the organization as it related to implementing these strategies.
The Walsh University STWF Program does just that. Our team of industry professionals designed a series of programs that are scalable in order to accommodate participants with various levels of education and/or work experience. We can meet your employees where they are in their learning and design a customized program to maximize the impact for your business.
As an approved Education Provider, Walsh University’s Skilled Technical Workforce courses are designed to meet core competencies and the criteria for credentials approved by the Ohio TechCred Program.
More information about the Tech Cred Program including eligibility for tuition reimbursement for businesses employing Ohio residents can be found at the Ohio Tech Cred website.
