President's Message
Over the last year…
…the COVID-19 global health crisis has continued to transform the landscape of our entire workforce ecosystem, emphasizing the crucial role of technology in staying connected and delivering services.
Working to prioritize interpersonal engagement as safely and frequently as possible, EmployIndy and our ecosystem of partners have incorporated innovative technologies and the necessary virtual adaptations to enhance our offerings and provide additional value-add opportunities to Indianapolis residents and employers.

Despite a challenging year…
As we evolved internally to adapt to an ever-changing environment and meet residents where they are at, EmployIndy and its leadership continue to lend expertise as a voice for workforce equity, innovation, and inclusion on both regional and national levels as a:
- Member of the Business Equity for Indy roundtable
- Collaborator in the Regional Workforce Partnership
- Participant in the Indiana Youth Apprenticeship Community of Practice

- Grantee in the JPMorgan Chase New Skills Ready Network
- Host to US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh visit
- Site of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions Network

- Trustee for the US Conference of Mayors Workforce Development Council
Each of these highlighted connections has allowed us to directly influence industry leaders, elected officials, legislators, and government agencies on opportunities and challenges in the current workforce system.
Our Strategic Plan
Long-term talent development programs such as Jobs for America’s Graduates, Job Ready Indy, Project Indy, Talent Bound, Modern Apprenticeship, and the New Skills Ready Network.
Re-engagement and intervention at point-in-time efforts through YES Indy and the YES Indy REC model, adult education, and WorkOne Indy.
Post-secondary enrollment and completion rates through programs like Indy Achieves, Next Level Jobs, and customized training that meets employer demand.
Partnerships with employers to find, hire, and retain new employees via our local Rapid Re-employment Response efforts and the adoption of job quality best practices.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of EmployIndy…
