SuccessBound Businesses

Schools and businesses are collaborating across the state to better prepare students for their futures!


Schools and businesses are collaborating across the state to better prepare students for their futures. Through innovative cross-sector partnerships, the state is working towards its goal to annually increase the percentage of Ohio’s high school graduates who, within one year of graduation, are:

  • Enrolled and succeeding in a post-high school learning experience, including an adult career-technical education program, an apprenticeship and/or a two-year or four-year college program (15 semester hours); or
  • Serving in a military branch; or
  • Earning a living wage.

Your partnership is essential in meeting this goal. Schools cannot do this work alone. Schools need you to offer industry-related opportunities and work-based learning experiences.
