Ohio adult education pathway

A diploma and a career credential can be part of the same next move.

If you are an Ohio adult without a high-school diploma or equivalency, the Adult Workforce Diploma pathway may be one option to compare. Ascend helps you understand the route, see provider information, and prepare questions before you choose.

What it means for you

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.

What Ascend compares

Age rules, location, online or in-person format, schedule, credential options, transportation, childcare, cost information, current availability, and the provider’s enrollment contact.

What Ascend does not do

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.

Provider onboarding is underway.

Ascend 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.
