Enact the Ohio Students and Families Workforce Strengthening Act

Summary

HB 797 establishes the SMART Internship program, providing paid, school‑based internships for eligible master’s‑level social work students from five state universities. Participants work up to 20 hours per week for up to 30 weeks in qualifying public schools that serve at least half low‑income students, receiving up to $15,000 per school year. The goal is to strengthen the school‑based social work workforce and address non‑academic barriers to student success.
