EmployIndy partner Dallara established its first U.S. location in Speedway, IN in 2012, with an initial focus on motorsports. Since then, the company has broadened its scope to include defense, aerospace, and e-sports, resulting in rebranding as the Dallara Experience Hub. Over time, they have successfully leveraged EmployIndy resources to develop their talent pipeline and take their organization to the next level. Dallara has long demonstrated a commitment to youth development, offering work-based learning opportunities and employing motorsports engineering interns from IUPUI. Dallarra and EmployIndy’s partnership began with the Talent Bound program, welcoming high school students for facility tours and career exploration and hosting TIE IN Events. They also recently joined the Modern Apprenticeship Program, hiring a student from Purdue Polytechnic High School for a three-year apprenticeship as well as recently hosting the Modern Apprenticeship Signing Day 2025, further demonstrating its dedication to workforce development and community engagement. Additionally, the company leveraged the Next Level Jobs Training Grant to upskill employees in composite technology, quality control, and CATIA V5 software. Terri Talbert Hatch, Administrative Consultant at Dallara, shared that "the Next Level Job Training Grants forced us to be more organized in our training. In the racing business, things move fast and can quickly pivot. But with the grants, we have to think, prepare, organize, and set aside specific time for training. This benefits everyone within the organization.” Continuing its educational mission, Dallara recently celebrated the grand opening of the Purdue University Indianapolis Motorsports Engineering Program within its facility. This collaboration allows students to engage in both classroom instruction and hands-on technical work on race cars, helping to cultivate a highly skilled workforce for the racing industry.
