The Individual Microcredential Assistance Program (IMAP) helps Ohioans participate in a training program to receive a credential at no cost. IMAP training providers will cover all tuition, fees, and additional costs to help you learn new skills and earn a credential that can lead to a good job.
While the program is targeted toward individuals who are low-income, partially unemployed, or totally unemployed, all Ohioans are eligible to receive training through IMAP.
