Grow local talent.

Job Ready Indy badges provide a quick, reliable reference to tell employers that an applicant is ready for any entry-level workplace.
​
As Indy's labor market tightens, skilled workers are becoming more in demand than ever. Cultivating a community of opportunity for entry-level jobs is a proven way to ensure businesses have a talent pipeline on which they can depend.

All businesses who are in a position to hire for entry-level work can play a role in the development of Indy's talent through employment. Job Ready participants enter the workforce with employable skills that can have a tangible impact on local businesses, while alleviating the burden of uncertainty for those who hire them.

EmployIndy is currently working with schools, community organizations, and service providers to establish a network of outlets to deliver the Job Ready Indy curriculum. 

By simply committing to give added consideration to applicants with a Job Ready Indy Badge, Indianapolis employers will play an active role in reinforcing the skills and abilities of future talent in our city and our economy.
