Current Projects
Adult Protective Services Dashboard
Develop specific metrics to assess three aspects of Ohio’s county-administered Adult Protective Services programs: (1) Data quality; (2) Compliance and (3) Performance. The goal is to generate metrics for each county APS program and provide ODAPS administrators and managers at JFS with a dashboard to monitor compliance and help identify opportunities for improvement.
Broadband & 5G Sector Partnership
The transformative impact of 5G is increasingly apparent worldwide. However, many citizens have limited access to high-speed internet, of which the State of Ohio is a primary example. The race to 5G has become a matter of national competitiveness and economic security for the United States, and although the wireless industry is poised to make major investments in building out the 5G network, a lack of a skilled workforce is limiting such efforts.
Attendance Study
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is partnering with the Ohio Education Research Center (OERC) to conduct a statewide study on school attendance. This study seeks to learn more about patterns and outcomes related to student attendance in Ohio, as well as local school district attendance policies.
