Work first, college degree later: Indiana wants students to consider a new postsecondary model

Indiana is advocating for a new postsecondary educational model where students enter the workforce through high school apprenticeship and internship programs, rather than going directly to college. The state's goal is helping more students secure high-paying jobs in fields facing shortages, with degrees serving as means of advancement later on. This initiative includes launching Indiana Career Apprenticeship Programs (INCAP) and involves Ivy Tech Community College for focused workforce development.
