Construction training programs in Ohio

43 construction programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

31 schools offer these construction programs, and Ohio has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Construction laborers and helpers do tasks on construction sites such as supplying and holding materials and tools and cleaning work areas and equipment. Most learn on the job and some through apprenticeships that add technical instruction, and employers often require safety certification that meets OSHA guidelines, before or after hiring.¹

In Ohio, 23 of the 43 programs take students without a high school diploma, 17 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 43 programs here are construction trades certificate or diploma (14 programs), building and facilities maintenance (11 programs), NCCER Core or intro construction course (6 programs), construction technology (associate degree, 4 programs), and 8 more of 4 other kinds.

How to pay for construction training programs in Ohio

WIOA funding can pay for construction training programs in Ohio

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for construction training programs

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.⁶⁷

GI Bill for construction training programs

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.⁸

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Quick facts: Construction training programs in Ohio

Where the Ohio construction program numbers come from

Which Ohio construction programs are on this list?

These are the construction programs Ohio approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Ohio offers.

How the prices and results of Ohio construction programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
