State Senator Bill Beagle
Funding for Ohio Co-op & Internship Programs Announced
Sinclair Community College and University of Dayton get piece of $11 million
COLUMBUS– State Senator Bill Beagle (R–Tipp City) announced today that
the State Controlling Board has approved nearly $11 million in funding
for the Choose Ohio First Co-op/Internship Program.
“Most employers today are seeking workers who have more than just a
degree,” Beagle said. “Internships and co-ops allow students to develop
the real world skills and experiences they need to enter the workforce
and succeed in a variety of careers.”
The University of Dayton will receive over $250,000 from this
initiative, and Sinclair Community College will receive over $200,000.
The goal of the program is to better align the skills, knowledge and
experience of Ohio’s workforce with the jobs that need to be filled in
the workplace. Funds will be used for the administration and
development of programs at 22 higher education institutions throughout
the state.
Senator Bill Beagle serves the people of Ohio’s 5th Senate District,
which includes Miami and Preble Counties as well as portions of
Montgomery and Darke Counties. He presides as the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Workforce & Economic Development. Learn more at
