Say hello to your new wave of smart, driven, well-educated employees.
Indiana is entering a new era – one where employers unite with a shared voice to shape workforce priorities and take the lead in educating and training new talent.
Working together, we can strengthen Indiana’s position as a national business leader.
The Indiana Career Apprenticeship Pathway (INCAP) offers a high-quality, well-organized structure to develop your talent pipeline and fill your current and future workforce needs. Throughout the process, you’ll have support from your Industry Talent Association (ITA), which is responsible for uniting employers to organize and build INCAP programs.
This process includes identifying talent needs, choosing occupations, defining required knowledge and skills, and collaborating with educators to develop education and training materials. You will also receive ongoing support from the ITA in the form of recruitment assistance and supervisor training.
