We’re excited to announce the next steps toward building Indiana’s new apprenticeship pathway! In September, the #CEMETS #iLabIndiana strategic plan identified BioCrossroads, Conexus Indiana, and Indiana Bankers Association as the organizations best positioned to form talent associations in four industries facing projected talent shortfalls. Today, the Fairbanks Foundation is pleased to announce it has awarded grants to fund the creation of talent associations in healthcare, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing and logistics! The Fairbanks Foundation expects to award a similar grant for a banking talent association in early 2025. These new associations will create professional pathways rooted in a youth apprenticeship experience that combines classroom education with on-the-job learning. Additionally, the Foundation is awarding $425,000 to CEMETS for continued consulting and technical assistance. Learn more about the funding: (fb)
