If you are an Ohio adult without a high-school diploma or equivalency, the Adult Workforce Diploma pathway may be one option to compare. Onward helps you understand the route, see provider information, and prepare questions before you choose.
This is not simply “getting a GED.” The pathway is designed around completing an Ohio-recognized diploma route while also earning an approved industry credential. The provider confirms your official eligibility and requirements.
Age rules, location, online or in-person format, schedule, credential options, transportation, childcare, cost information, current availability, and the provider’s enrollment contact.
We do not decide eligibility, award diplomas, or collect your birth certificate, transcript, government ID, IEP, medical records, or other enrollment documents. Those stay between you and the responsible provider.
Only approved partner/provider records classified for this pathway appear here. Availability should always be confirmed directly with the provider.
Onward is separating Adult Workforce Diploma providers from GED/HSE, Aspire, re-engagement schools, career training, and other pathways so you can compare the right type of option.
