Nationwide employees are taking advantage of a new IT certificate program to learn skills for high-demand jobs.

 In partnership with Columbus State in a pilot workforce education program created by the College-convened Central Ohio Compact Workforce Advisory Council, an initial class of Nationwide employees studying data analytics in the worksite-hosted program recently graduated. Certificates are also offered in cybersecurity and software development.  

Nationwide is the first Central Ohio company to engage in this Workforce Advisory Council-developed initiative through the Compact, a regional collaborative working toward increased degree and credential attainment.

Other companies are planning to participate in the program, which is designed to address a shortage of workers in the region with expertise in key IT fields. Columbus State’s program will enable area companies to retrain their current workforce to fill those positions.
