5. STEMworks INDIANA Program Review

6. STEMworks INDIANA Purpose STEMworks INDIANA was created to help broaden the talent pool of the current and future Indiana STEM workforce by offering educational and training opportunities to receive a post-secondary degree, industry-recognized license, certificate or credential that will lead to job placement in a STEM occupation.

7. STEMworks INDIANA Project Review • STEMworksIndiana is a comprehensive pipeline initiative that will create educational and occupational opportunities for dislocated workers and disadvantaged students. STEMworks INDIANA will use various resources so these program participants may • identify their occupational interests, • hone in on appropriate educational pathways, • transform into STEM career candidates, and • become employed in gateway STEM jobs.

8. STEM Eligibility: Disadvantage Youth • MUST be a disadvantaged high school Junior or Senior • MUST have an interest in a STEM-related career • MUST pursue a certification or Associates degree • Must be WIA eligible • Candidates will be referred from the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), Advanced Manufacturing Virtual Lab (AMVL) at Ben Davis High School program, Central Nine (C9), and Arsenal Technical High School • These scholars will successfully enter post-secondary education geared toward STEM careers

9. STEM Eligibility: Dislocated Worker • MUST be a Dislocated Worker • MUST have an interest in a STEM-related career • Looking to receive a certification or Associates degree • Must be WIA eligible and fall into one of the following Dislocated Worker categories • Unlikely to return to previous occupation/career field • Unemployed through no fault of their own • Received notice of implementing lay-off • Spouse of a dislocated worker (earning less than 50% of family income) • Self-employed, but business closed as a result of economic conditions

10. Dislocated Worker Outcomes • 400 will receive STEM-related services • Of the 400 serviced; 200 will receive Occupational Skills training assistance and additional supportive services funding if needed • Focus is on certificate and Associate degree programs • including accelerated programs • COPS assessment testing will be administered to all program participants; TABE test will be administered at the discretion of the STEM coach • STEM Coach will continue personalized counseling services as needed • Participants may participate in job-readiness, interviewing and résumé-preparation workshops

11. Program Updates • Dislocated Workers • 64 clients entered into the program to-date • Positives • Challenges • Interesting !?! • Disadvantaged Youth • 42 students entered into the program to-date • Positives • Challenges • Interesting !?!

12. STEMworks INDIANA Program Time Line • Today’s training is the 1st of 3 in-depth sessions • STEMworksIndiana.org site available in June • Career Blueprint available in August • Topic of August 12 training • Kiosks will be installed and available in September • Topic of September 9 training

13. All About STEM!

14. STEM Jobs = Key to Long-Term Success • STEM is a career cluster of occupations that focuses on: • Science • Technology • Engineering • Mathematics • The long-term key to continued U.S. competitiveness and growth in the global economic environment is to supply STEM workers to incorporate knowledge and skills into new processes, products, and services.

15. Key STEM Areas in Indiana • Advanced Manufacturing • Advanced manufacturing is the process of mass producing products on demand, using the latest technology maintain efficiency • Biotechnology • Biotechnology is technology based on biology, agriculture, food science, and medicine • Reminder! STEMworks INDIANA is not focused on STEM clinical areas such as nurses, CNAs and physicians • Engineering • Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective or inventions • Information Technology • The study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware
