Coshocton County Career Center

What Coshocton County Career Center does

Coshocton County Career Center is a public career-technical education institution operated by the Coshocton County Joint Vocational School District (JVSD), located in Coshocton, Ohio. Founded in 1978, it delivers tuition-free career-technical programming to high school students and adult learners across 13 program areas spanning welding, nursing, automotive technology, information technology, construction trades, cosmetology, culinary arts, and newly added disciplines including Utility Line Worker, Applied Machining, and Industrial Maintenance. Instruction is delivered through hands-on laboratory environments with industry-recognized equipment, and curriculum pathways include vendor-supplied content from Cisco (networking) and CodeHS (computer science).

The center operates under Ohio's JVSD funding model. Revenue is sourced from a combination of Ohio Department of Education foundation allocations, local property taxes, federal grants, and limited fees from adult and out-of-district learners; in-district high school students attend tuition-free. Employer partnerships—with McWane Ductile, Newark Electrical JATC, IBEW Local 575, and Hocking College—anchor workforce pipeline delivery and provide pre-apprenticeship and articulation pathways for graduates.

In November 2023 the institution was awarded a $4.4 million state Construction Expansion Grant to fund an 11,000-square-foot facility addition; groundbreaking occurred in October 2024, with the new wing scheduled to open Fall 2026. The center reports outcome metrics exceeding Ohio's CTE standards: a 5/5 star rating on the state's Career-Technical Education report card, 90.8% post-program placement, 82.9% technical skill attainment, and 1,040 industry credentials earned in 2024.
