Build your company's talent pipeline and strengthen your workforce with training and professional development for maximum impact.


By 2025, over 60% of Indiana jobs will require postsecondary educated workers across a variety of degree types. Currently, only 48.3% of Hoosiers currently hold some level of postsecondary education. Ivy Tech Community College is uniquely situated to significantly impact this gap through its statewide presence, diverse range of in-demand programs, and proven ability to quickly adapt to the needs of our communities. Through Ivy+ Career Link, we are further leveraging these strengths to enable our students and employer partners to be more competitive in today’s global economy.

EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT


Ivy Tech is Indiana’s largest postsecondary institution, and 91% of our students remain in the Hoosier state upon graduation. As a result, employers who partner with us have an inside track on some of the best talent in Indiana and beyond. We offer a variety of ways to interact with our students and alumni, including internships, job shadowing, mock interviews, career fairs, and Q&A panels. Contact your campus Talent Connection Manager to find out more.

What is Work and Learn at Ivy Tech Community College? 

Review our Work and Learn Terms and Definitions to find out more. 


Work and Learn experiences, such as internships, micro-internships, and co-ops,  are opportunities to allow students to learn more about their career field and employers to make connections with the future workforce. Ivy Tech will work directly with employers to develop and market work & learn experiences to the audience most closely matching their skill requirements.

>>Don't know where to start? Review our Internship Guidelines.

Virtual internships provide employers a way to connect with talent without the need to be on site. To help employers make the most of these opportunities, our Virtual Internship Guidelines help you develop project-based or virtual internship experiences that can provide you with a competitive hiring advantage and get assistance with relevant projects.

At Ivy Tech, we love to celebrate our interns and those employers who support them in their career journey! See how our Ivy Tech Incredible Interns and employer partners benefited from their Work and Learn experiences.
