Northwest Ohio Career Training and Higher Education Directory

This directory of career training and higher education opportunities in Northwest Ohio brings together information about local institutions, all accredited in Ohio, that provide certifications or degrees in a wide range of occupations and professions. The directory is organized into three sections: Colleges and Universities, Community Colleges, and Vocational and Career Training.  The directory is also available online at:  http://www.waylibrary.info.
We want to provide area residents with a range of local educational and vocational choices.  It is our sincere hope that this directory will assist community members who are looking for information about local educational and vocational opportunities.

The Northwest Ohio Career Training and Higher Education Directory was compiled by Way Public Library staff Kate Kinison, Karen Rothman, and Carlye Seybold, with technical assistance from Anna Bristol and Travis McAfee.
