The Institute for Workforce Excellence is hosting a workshop for employers to learn more about the Institute’s Work and Learn Indiana program – specifically, how to create quality work-based learning opportunities and take advantage of EARN Indiana funding. Work and Learn Indiana has partnered with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education since 2013 to offer employers a 50% wage reimbursement for work-based learning experiences. In 2019, the program expanded to include high school students.
The Employment Aid Readiness Network (EARN) Indiana program is available to employers that offer high-quality work-based learning experiences and hire an eligible Indiana high school or college student. Employers can be reimbursed up to 50% of the student’s wages for a qualifying experience, and can receive up to $45,000 per fiscal year! The Institute’s team will walk attendees through connecting to the Work and Learn Indiana platform, how to post internships, connect with students, and submit hours for reimbursement.
