Athletic Trainer Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become an athletic trainer in Ohio?

To become an athletic trainer in Ohio, you must graduate from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education-accredited program, pass the Board of Certification examination to earn the ATC credential, and then apply for a state license through the Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board. Ohio requires an active state license before you may practice, and renewal involves completing continuing education requirements each cycle.

How much do athletic trainers make in Ohio?

Athletic trainers in Ohio earn a median of about $61,420 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,700 for the lowest 10% to over $75,100 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in Ohio?

Employers hiring athletic trainers in Ohio right now include Anytime Fitness, Life Time, and Orangetheory Fitness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Ohio's large university systems, regional hospital networks, and secondary school districts together generate steady year-round openings across the state.

Which Ohio cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland lead Ohio in athletic trainer openings. Columbus drives the most volume because of Ohio State University's extensive athletics infrastructure and the concentration of hospital-based sports medicine clinics, while Cleveland and Cincinnati benefit from major health systems, professional sports franchises, and dense suburban school districts that employ full-time athletic trainers.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Ohio?

Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on clinical role that requires in-person assessment and treatment, which limits remote opportunities significantly. About 4% of athletic trainer openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve administrative, telehealth triage, or program coordination duties rather than direct patient care.

How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Ohio with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is securing a graduate assistant or clinical staff position at an Ohio university athletics department, where employers such as Ohio State, University of Cincinnati, and Ohio University regularly post entry-level roles. Secondary school districts throughout the state also hire newly licensed athletic trainers, and hospital systems like Cleveland Clinic and OhioHealth operate sports medicine clinics that bring on associates. Holding an active Ohio state license and a BOC-ATC credential immediately upon graduation gives candidates the clearest advantage.

Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Ohio?

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find roles that fit your experience and location, and apply directly.
