In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for skilled IT professionals has never been higher. However, for many individuals, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds, accessing quality tech education and employment opportunities remains a significant challenge.
Founded on the principles of bridging the tech skills gap and providing opportunities for underrepresented individuals, JobWorks has been making waves in Indiana with its innovative TechWorks program. But what exactly sets this program apart, and how is it making a tangible impact on the state's economy and workforce?
At the heart of JobWorks' mission is the recognition of the pressing need for IT support professionals. With over 14,000 IT support jobs available in Indiana alone, the demand is clear. However, traditional education pathways often fail to cater to individuals outside the conventional mold. JobWorks saw this gap and seized the opportunity to make a difference.
The TechWorks program is designed to be comprehensive and accessible. It offers live virtual training, IT certifications, hands-on labs and simulations, job readiness content, and continuous support throughout the learning journey. But perhaps most importantly, it actively involves employers in the process, ensuring that the skills being taught are aligned with industry demands.
In 2023 alone, JobWorks served its 270th Indiana student, with 45% of them coming from underrepresented backgrounds in the tech industry. Through strategic partnerships with institutions like Indiana Tech, JobWorks is expanding its reach even further, integrating underrepresented individuals into the tech workforce and creating a more diverse and inclusive industry.
The economic impact of JobWorks' efforts is undeniable. In 2023, Indiana alumni earned a total of $4.4 million, with underrepresented alumni contributing $2 million to the state's economy. The total economic impact exceeded $13 million, showcasing the ripple effect of investing in tech education and workforce development.
And JobWorks isn't stopping there. With approvals from the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) signaling its expansion beyond Indiana, the organization is poised to make an even greater impact on a national scale.
