The JobsOhio Operating Model: Helping companies and their people thrive in Ohio
We’re private, which means less red tape.
We help clients avoid surprises with a proven process that protects your confidential information.
We’re nonprofit, which means clients come first.
As a 501(c)(4), we’re obsessed with our client’s bottom line and see your success as our own – building ROI for Ohio.
We’re independent, which means less drama.
We advocate for businesses and their people alongside local and state government partners and help them avoid pitfalls.
We’re flexible, which means we customize our work to bolster Ohio city, town, and company readiness, now and in the future.
We move at our clients’ pace — with their vision in mind — at the speed of trust.
We work through seven regional partners representing large cities, medium cities, small towns, and wide-open rural areas and provide a soft local touch.
We focus on 10 traded sectors of Ohio’s economy and are staffed by professionals who understand our client’s needs.
These are highly competitive industrial sectors with high growth potential.
