Biography

Describe your job. My role is to manage the relationship between several service providers on the Far Eastside who are focusing on moving opportunity youth into ABC: A Job, A Better Job, or a Career. What do you love about Indy? One of the things I truly love about Indy is our sports community.  I am a cheerleader (I really was a cheerleader in high school), so I love being in the stands at all levels of sporting events, whether I'm rooting for the underdog or for the champion! What is the most important trait for job-seekers to have? Commitment. As a teen, my mother would often remind me: “looking for a job is a full-time job.” A little more about Dionne… I adore elephants and have an eclectic collection of elephants that I have gathered from my travels around the world.

TIF Training Grants

The funding for TIF Training Grants comes from the NextLevel Jobs program, overseen by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. These grantees are reimbursed for their work to hire, train, and retain Indianapolis workers. It removes the financial barriers that many employers face during the hiring process and allows them to provide opportunities for growth and employee success throughout the training process.

Story of Impact

Increasing Employer and Workforce Engagement

The vision behind NextLevel Jobs stems from the need to engage the current workforce and provide individuals with opportunities to grow within their company. In order to receive reimbursement for hiring and training, the employee must stay on for at minimum six months.
