What is Job Ready Indy?

Job Ready Indy was created through collaboration by Mayor Joe Hogsett, EmployIndy, the Indy Chamber, and various employers and community organizations around Marion County. Here is how it works:

• EmployIndy and Indy Chamber approve curricula and providers as worthy of offering Job Ready Indy badging.
• Job seekers complete the combined in-person and online curriculum to earn badges in six categories (details below).
• Job seekers share their achievements with potential employers when applying for jobs (including directly to their Project Indy profile).
• Employers can hire with confidence knowing that Job Ready Indy participants have basic employability skills needed for today's workplace.

​Job Ready Indy currently focuses on youth job seekers (age 16-24), with plans to expand in the future.

Job Ready Indy is a workforce development initiative that aims to validate the attainment of job skills by participants through an online
​badging system.

​Integrated.

For young adults who participate, Job Ready Indy is fully integrated with Project Indy, Mayor Joe Hogsett's youth jobs program. As participants earn Job Ready badges, their Project Indy profiles automatically updates to reflect that accomplishment for employers to see.
