Gov. Kasich to Consolidate Workforce Development Programs
Gov. John Kasich wants to replace Ohio’s existing job training efforts with a new system that will be run directly from his office. Former lobbyist Richard Frederick is the new assistant policy director for workforce training. He will eliminate some workforce development progams, “merge others and settle on a single cohesive training plan linking high school education to community colleges and four-year universities to the business community,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
