Indy Achieves is Mayor Joe Hogsett's response to Indianapolis' rapidly changing labor market by ensuring that every Indianapolis resident has the ability to pursue and complete a postsecondary credential or degree program, and empowering residents to pursue careers that put them on a pathway to the middle class.

 

Indy Achieves will focus on two key ways to increase the proportion of adults with the appropriate credentials:

1. Increasing the number of K-12 students who pursue and complete postsecondary credentials
2. Increasing the educational attainment level of the existing adult population, all the while ensuring more intentional pathways into high-demand careers.

In today's episode, Kara talks with Matt Impink, Caitlin Diehl, Scott Rafalski, Elizabeth Flood, and Jessica Solow - team members of both EmployIndy and Ivy Tech who are deeply engaged in work with Indy Achieves students.
