Coalitions

Indiana Skills2Compete Coalition 

Our Role: Co-Chair & Coordinator

Middle-skills jobs are a critical component of Indiana’s economy, and workers need to acquire the skills and education required to fill these positions. The Indiana Skills2Compete Coalition has created a platform to bring greater attention to middle-skill jobs and the workers we need to fill them that are often forgotten by most of today’s higher education debates. On this site you can get to learn about the coalition and its members, read our research about middle-skills jobs and the skills gap, and see our policy accomplishments and priorities for Indiana.
