The Ascend Network (Network) enables Indiana employers to find and hire diverse talent for part-time and full-time job opportunities and work-based learning (e.g., internships and apprenticeships). The Network allows employers to connect directly with students and individuals considering career opportunities in Indiana. It also provides job seekers an online platform and one-on-one support to connect with open roles in the state. Ascend helps employers gain a more complete understanding of the available talent in Indiana and how it aligns to their demand. When the Network identifies talent shortfalls, Ascend Services (Services) helps employers design and launch a solution. Services comes alongside each employer as an extension of their team to help them understand their hiring challenges, design training initiatives to solve these unique challenges, and launch programs that will ultimately benefit the community by preparing more talent for the state’s available jobs in critical sectors.
