A New Phase for Earn & Learn


Columbus State is developing the next generation of Earn & Learn programming to support more students across the college and deepen alignment with local industry demand. As we build a more scalable, future-focused model, we will pause recruitment for the cohorts that would typically launch in Autumn 2026—giving us time to fine-tune the design before we move back into full production.

What does this mean?

Current Earn & Learn students will continue through program completion — no adjustments needed on their production line.

Employer partnerships and ongoing placements will not be interrupted — those connections remain running at full capacity.

Recruitment of new Earn & Learn cohorts will resume in January 2027 — once the updated model passes quality checks.

This redesign will help us:

  • Expand Earn & Learn opportunities across additional academic pathways — increasing our ability to support more students without overloading the system.
  • Strengthen skill preparation aligned with industry needs — ensuring students are built with the right specifications for today’s workforce.
  • Streamline student and employer experience within a new, sustainable framework — reducing friction so the full process operates like a well-calibrated machine.


We look forward to launching the updated Earn & Learn model in January 2027 and expanding opportunities for students and employers across Central Ohio. Thank you for your patience as we re-tool and upgrade for the next phase.
