Ultimately, the initiative aims to create a ripple effect within the community. As more individuals upskill and gain access to better job opportunities, the local economy will benefit from a more qualified workforce. Greater employment rates amongst underserved adults can lead to reduced poverty levels and a more vibrant, economically secure Ohio.
