Gov. Eric J. Holcomb made five stops on a tour this week highlighting “Earn and Learn” opportunities and Next Level Jobs across Indiana. Stops included Trilogy Healthcare’s Springhurst Health Campus, Gaylor Electric, Ivy Tech Madison, Madison Correctional Facility and Commodore Manufacturing at Perry Central Schools.

While there, Gov. Holcomb toured the facilities and participated in roundtable discussions facilitated by Secretary of Career Connections and Talent Blair Milo to hear firsthand from the schools, employers, students and local leaders about how they are partnering to create work-based learning opportunities for Hoosiers in their communities. While on the road, the governor learned first-hand how work-based learning is an essential pathway for Hoosiers to gain skills needed for high-demand, high-wage careers.
