Employer-Sponsored Scholar Programs
As the largest singly-accredited community college in the nation, Ivy Tech is Indiana’s workforce engine. Within the College, the mission of the Workforce & Careers division is to build workforce pipelines tailored to an employer’s most critical talent needs — powered by deep collaboration with Indiana’s state agencies and regional ecosystem partners.
Ivy Tech works closely with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) and the Indiana Department of Commerce to present a comprehensive workforce development strategy aligned to your company’s specific talent and training needs. Ivy Tech will evaluate current facilities and equipment and, where needed, co-develop plans for capital investment to ensure cutting-edge training environments. Together, we’ll also strategize additional support — such as marketing resources and wraparound services — to ensure students succeed and your workforce is future-ready.

Ivy Tech works with your team to identify employee requirements, gaps in the workforce, and how Ivy Tech’s programs can close that gap. A customized scholar program is then established to build needed skills in targeted communities.
