Current Narrative:

Through the work begun by the Indiana Career Council and continued through the State Workforce Board, Indiana’s education and training providers, including Indiana’s community college system and career and technical education schools are actively engaged to create a job driven system. With regard to the WIOA State Plan, Strategies 2.1 and 2.2 specifically address engagement of education and training providers. Providers in the K-12 and post-secondary arena are engaged in developing a career pathways system and are engaged in ensuring students are provided with meaningful career counseling and career preparation, including information on Indiana’s high wage, high demand occupations. Specifically, Indiana’s community college system and the K-12 system are actively using the INDemand system to align education and training offerings to employer demand.

The state will continue to include education and training providers in the conversation as initiatives and policies are being decided upon. Examples include the SWIC and SWIC taskforce work and the new Education to Career Pathways Cabinet.
