OHIO CDL TRAINING PROGRAM
The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Training Program pro- vides a tax credit to help lessen the financial burden of CDL training costs. The program gives employers the opportunity to upskill current and future employees in today’s high-demand in- dustry.
The program offers tax credits up to $3 million per year for cal- endar years 2023 through 2026. Employers can apply for tax credits for half of approved training expenses, up to $25,000 in tax credits. Applications will be reviewed and awarded on a first- come, first-served basis.
ELIGIBILITY
Employers of all sizes and industries looking to sponsor current or prospective employees to complete a CDL training program are eligible to apply. Employers must be registered to do busi- ness with the Ohio Secretary of State and employ Ohio resident W-2 employees. Trainings can be conducted by a qualified exter- nal training provider with an active status on the Ohio-Approved CDL course provider list OR a qualified internal trainer.
