Ivy+ Career Link

Grow. Connect. Launch.

WHAT IS IVY+ CAREER LINK?

Ivy+ Career Link is the new name for Ivy Tech's Career Coaching & Employer Connections (CCEC) team. We provide transformative career development services for Ivy Tech students and alumni as well as a variety of talent connection opportunities and employee training for employers. The pool of resources we offer connects students, employers, alumni, and communities. 

By focusing on honing the employability skills of our students and the state's workers, we are working to meet the specific skills and training needs of employers in Indiana and neighboring states.

For Students

Ivy+ Career Link services for students are truly focused on your success. You’ll work with a Career Coach from the very beginning of your educational journey with Ivy Tech. We understand that it takes time and commitment to develop a career and that your academic goals and career goals are linked. We want to intentionally help you focus on both!

For Employers

Ivy+ Career Link aims to take partnerships with employers to a new level. Our goal is to empower incumbent workers with tools, resources, and transformational career coaching to help them grow their careers and succeed in workplaces across the state. We also serve as a destination for employers to connect and interact early with students who are skilled and ready to meet the demands of the world of work. 

For the Community

Working adults have multiple demands on their time, and completing a college degree or certificate may not be something you can consider at this point. Ivy Tech offers short-term, non-credit skills training for anyone seeking to earn an industry certification, advance their job skills, or get into the workforce quickly. Our class offerings are specially designed to support the growth of key Indiana economic sectors and community needs.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT FOR STUDENTS

  • Help Finding Your Way to Your New Career

    You'll meet with your Career Coach regularly throughout your time at Ivy Tech to explore career paths and develop a clear plan for achieving your professional goals. Through individual, personalized career coaching, they'll help you identify your interests, strengths, and career objectives and explore today’s careers.

    Your Career Coach will also help you polish the skills that lead to success, such as time management, decision-making, effectively using feedback, and more. And when you're ready, your Coach will guide you through resume and cover letter development as well as interview practice to make sure you're presenting yourself in the strongest way possible.

    Find Your Local Career Coach

  • Develop your Resume and Professional Networking Presence

    You'll develop your Career Development Portfolio with your Career Coach by your side. It will include your resume, a professional networking profile, and highlights of your work-and-learn experiences. We think you'll find it's the best way to showcase why an employer should hire you.

  • Opportunity to "Try Out" a Career

    A work-and-learn experience is an opportunity to test-run a career that interests you while you're still in school. It includes project work in a real-world context to help you better understand a career and the world of work. Examples of work-and-learn experiences include in-person or virtual internships, micro-internships, apprenticeships, and special project assignments. There are also a number of ways you can engage with employers to prepare for a work-and-learn experience, such as job site tours, career fairs, or job shadowing.

  • Help Finding a Job While in College and After Graduation

    Whether you are a student looking for a part-time job or a graduate or alumnus looking for a full-time job, we can help! Our goal is to provide our students with personalized assistance in helping identify employment opportunities that match their interests and education credentials.

Skill Up Your Employees

  • Classes to Skill Up Your Employees

    Your employees are your greatest asset and employee training is among the most critical investments you can make in your business. Ivy Tech Community College offers a wide variety of short-term, non-credit skills training through our statewide network of campuses to help you affordably provide training for your employees.

    Skills training classes are offered in a variety of formats and subject matter targeted specifically to meet the needs of Indiana's employers and employees and to support the growth of key Indiana economic sectors.

    Contact your local Ivy Tech Employer Consultant on the Ivy+ Career Link team to identify training classes that would be a good fit for your employees.

  • Custom Skills Training to Upskill Your Workforce

    If our current employee training classes don't meet your needs, we also specialize in developing custom skills training classes for our employer partners. We can develop short-term training on a variety of topics—management and supervisory skills, healthcare, technology, safety, information technology, and many more— and each one can be customized to be offered how, when, and where you need it.

    Reach out to your local Ivy+ Career Link Employer Consultant to develop a plan just for you, or use this form to tell us what you need.

  • Support Your Employees' Education Through Deferred Tuition Payments

    Consider providing a path for your employees to earn a college degree or certificate at minimal or zero upfront cost in a field of study you have approved. Participating in a deferred tuition payment program such as Achieve Your Degree allows your employees to take classes and gain skills without paying tuition upfront. Billing for the balance of a semester's cost is deferred until the end of the semester and payment isn't due until classes are complete.

  • Get Reimbursed up to $5,000 per Employee for Approved Training

    The Employer Training Grant, established through Indiana's Workforce Ready Grant, reimburses employers who train, hire, and retain new or incumbent workers to fill in-demand positions within six priority job sectors: advanced manufacturing, agriculture, building and construction, health and life sciences, IT and business services, and transportation and logistics.

    Employers in any high-demand business sector can be reimbursed up to $5,000 for each newly trained, current or new, full-time employee, and up to $1,000 for high school students. As an approved training provider, Ivy Tech understands the requirements of the grant and will work alongside your local Work One and your team to develop skills classes that meet your needs exactly.
