Mayor Greg Ballard today announced that the Indianapolis Private Industry Council has changed its name to EmployIndy, which better describes the mission and the organization’s work in Marion County.
"EmployIndy is an important and active partner with the City of Indianapolis and Develop Indy in preparing and training a pipeline of workers to meet the employment needs of existing and prospective new companies, ultimately strengthening the economic vitality of Indianapolis," said Mayor Ballard.
EmployIndy is the Workforce Investment Board for Marion County, administering millions of dollars in federal, state, local and private funds to support workforce development services and initiatives for job seekers and employers in Indianapolis. It is the operator of the three WorkOne centers in Marion County, providing:
* Business solutions to employers, including job recruiting, candidate assessment and placement.
* Educational recruitment to build the educational and occupational skill sets for Marion County’s workforce.
* Candidate training and development, preparing job seekers for work.
“EmployIndy supports partnerships that focus on preparing people to work in high growth sectors, such as life sciences, information technology, advanced manufacturing, logistics, motorsports and energy and green construction,” said EmployIndy President and CEO Brooke Huntington. “We are evolving to more strategically direct our funds and services to prepare workers for the high demand jobs of today and in the future.”
