Goodwill Grant Will Expand Training to Fill High Demand Jobs
Grant Type:
Goodwill of Central and Southern Indiana was awarded a new grant to help get more people trained up to fill labor shortages in high demand jobs across Indiana.
The grant from Ascendium Education Group will provide access to more training for low-income rural residents looking to advance their careers and fill high demand jobs.
“It's a $2 million grant so we'll be supporting individuals in Wayne and Shelby Counties,” said Kent Kramer, Goodwill of Central and Southern Indiana President and CEO.
Kramer says research shows 60% of all news jobs require an education level or certification post high school which aligns with what they’re seeing in some of the local counties.
They're looking to fill a need in many of these fields.
