Advancing and cultivating economic growth by building a world-class workforce development system in Indiana through partnership and practice.

Goals

1. Identify, align and connect Indiana employers with qualified workers.  
Ensure collaborative and integrated partnerships between the workforce investment system and the employment community, focusing on high-wage or high-demand sectors, that provide reliable and visible support to employers seeking qualified workers. Reciprocally, ensure partnerships that provide input to the educational and supportive programs and services provided to youth and adult learners and workers.
 
2. Ensure Hoosiers understand and achieve occupational goals that advance Indiana’s economy.  
Provide relevant, reliable and visible career development for Indiana adults and at-risk youth that includes career development, adult remedial education, occupational training, workplace-skill development, and (re)employment assistance, with a focus on high-wage or high-demand jobs.
 
3. Achieve a cohesive workforce investment system that focuses on delivering high quality services with great efficiency.  
Provide a workforce investment system whose education and support programs articulate with the state’s public, private, nonprofit and community-based institutions to ensure the delivery of highest-quality opportunities for career-development and reemployment. Further, ensure that the services in the workforce investment system are delivered by professional staff that possess the knowledge and skills to support youth and adult workers in their career development and reemployment.
 
4.  Aggressively maintain the integrity of the unemployment insurance system. 
Strive for the timely payment of benefits, while maintaining the integrity of the system and aggressively pursuing abuse of the employer-financed fund.
