Grant Overview

Indiana Workforce Outcomes in Construction Training

Indiana tracks construction workforce gaps by measuring the ratio of certified graduates to annual job postings, currently 1 graduate per 4.8 openings in residential trades. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development reports that 12 central and southern counties post above-average opening rates yet record completion rates below 55 percent for certificate programs.

These outcome shortfalls trace to training methods that rely on outdated lecture formats rather than job-site simulation. Programs using only textbook instruction show 28 percent lower first-year retention in related employment compared with simulation-equipped cohorts.

The grant funds simulation hardware and software that replicate residential electrical and plumbing scenarios. Purchases must align with current Indiana residential building code editions so that graduates meet immediate employer requirements.

Applications require baseline employment placement data for the prior two cohorts and a commitment to report 12-month employment outcomes by county.

Outcome Measurement in Indiana

Community colleges in the Ivy Tech system and independent technical institutes qualify when they serve at least three counties with placement rates below the state median. Nonprofits must partner with an accredited institution to issue credentials recognized by the Indiana State Building Commission.

Indiana-Specific Distinctions

Indiana's manufacturing and logistics sectors compete directly with construction for entry-level workers, producing higher wage pressure than in neighboring Kentucky. Applications must therefore quantify how simulation tools will reduce time-to-credential below the current 11-month average to improve retention against competing industries.
