Ascend Indiana Employer Engagement Coordinator

Ascend Indiana (Ascend), launched out of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP), exists to create stronger alignment between the supply of skilled talent and demand from employers in central Indiana. Our vision is for Indiana to be a place of economic opportunity for all. By 2020 at least 62 percent of Indiana jobs will require a post-secondary educated worker, yet, only 42 percent of working adults in central Indiana have an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree, or above. This leaves over 200,000 residents without the necessary skills to obtain jobs of the future. This leads to stagnating economic growth and prosperity for individuals and our region. Ascend aims to address these issues by creating opportunities for people to pursue self-sustaining career paths with a focus on serving individuals from low-income backgrounds. Ascend is seeking a motivated, self-starter to support the management and execution of Ascend’s employer engagement systems and processes to bring Indiana employer to the Ascend Network. The implementation of these systems will help connect diverse, low-income, post-secondary students to self-sustaining and meaningful internship and careers with central Indiana employers. VISTA members will work with a highly collaborative team throughout their term of service and will receive continuous professional development opportunities. Please send resumes to Caitlin Sheesley-Brown at caitlin.brown@ascendindiana.com.
