Why Conexus Indiana In June of 2007, the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP) launched Conexus Indiana after the Battelle Report identified the following as Indiana’ target industry clusters: life sciences, technology, advanced manufacturing and logistics, energy/clean technologies
Our Mission To serve as the catalyst to position Indiana as the recognized global leader in the advanced manufacturing and logistics sectors

Conexus Strategic Priorities • Workforce development identified as the top priority – employers need a new breed of skilled workers to grow/succeed • Industry also wanted an organization which could focus on broad issues of mutual concern – research, public policy, infrastructure Support the sector via research, policy + infrastructure programs Attract and train a 21st century AML workforce
The Demand for Skilled AML Workers While low-skill (-25%) and mid-skill (-18%) jobs declined over last 20 years: “Employment in high-skill manufacturing occupations has risen 37%, an increase of roughly 1.2 million jobs. High skill jobs were the only source of job growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector during this period.” - Federal Reserve Bank of New York Workforce development is economic development.
But Indiana Falls Short in Supplying Qualified Workers • Indiana ranks 35th in the number of adults holding an associates degree • Indiana ranks 31st in percentage of workforce with a high school diploma and 42nd in college-educated workers overall The 2011 Manufacturing and Logistics Report Card compares the state of Indiana’s AML industries with those of surrounding states
Confronting the Human Capital Challenge • Workforce readiness is the major threat to the future of Indiana’s largest economic sector • The scope of this challenge demands a collective, collaborative approach • But today, too many employers still embrace an outdated model of worker training…
Employers agree that a majority of their employees need more training Results from recent Conexus statewide employer survey: What percentage of your employees would benefit from targeted training for their job? 53% say half or most of their employees need additional training
But most employers are still hiring unskilled workers and shouldering the in-house training burden What is your minimum educational requirement for entry-level employment?
A Better Approach… • The Old Way: • Hire unskilled workers, train them in-house – expensive and inefficient for individual companies • Industry is disengaged from educational institutions • As skill demands rise, so do training costs – a competitive disadvantage • Prospective AML employees have no consistent path to employment • A New Way: • Connect industry and academia – solicit private sector input to create relevant, industry-endorsed educational programs • Market these programs aggressively to prospective employees • Build a robust pipeline of qualified applicants – in-house training costs are lessened, overall workforce quality increased, common standards are set
Keys to Upskilling the Workforce • Voice of Industry – identify workforce needs • High School programs – start the pipeline early • Community College partnerships • DOE/DWD engagement – career pathways and curricula • Marketing – social networks/media – attract young Hoosiers • A National Campaign – portable AML credentials
