Background:  By 2025, employers in Indiana will need to fill one million high-demand, high-value jobs and approximately half of those jobs will require a post-secondary degree or certificate. Ivy Tech is Indiana’s workforce development engine at both the state and community levels. Next Level Jobs is an initiative through the Office of the Governor, using Workforce Ready grant monies to pay the tuition of qualifying individuals in a variety of high-demand, high-value career fields.

 

Those fields offered at Ivy Tech Evansville Campus include:

 

  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Health & Life Sciences
  • IT & Business Services
  • Transportation & Logistics

 

Individuals will have the opportunity to apply tonight and can use the computer lab in Room 119. Assistance will be provided.

 

The Workforce Ready Grant is designed to remove financial barriers that may prevent Hoosiers from getting the training they need. The grant pays for all tuition and regularly assessed fees for qualifying high-value certificates – whether they are credit bearing or non-credit programs. The funding is available to an individual for two years.
