Indiana is facing a talent crisis. With a declining labor participation rate and increasing demand for skilled workers, businesses across the state — especially small and mid-sized companies — are struggling to fill critical roles. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵios, in partnership with TEConomy Partners, has released a first-of-its-kind report: Indiana’s Workforce Transformation: Understanding the Need for Upskilling and Reskilling in a Changing Economy.Ìý

This report estimates that over 82,000 Hoosiers must be upskilled or reskilled annually with non-degree credentials to meet workforce demands over the next decade across these key industries:Ìý

• Advanced Manufacturing – 18,300 new credentials needed annuallyÌý
• Transportation & Logistics – 24,000 new credentials needed annuallyÌý
• Healthcare – 38,700 new credentials needed annuallyÌýÌý
• Technology – 1,300 new credentials needed annuallyÌýÌý

Why Non-Degree Credentials MatterÌý

Non-degree credentials — such as certifications, apprenticeships, and short-term training programs — provide an efficient, industry-driven way to equip workers with in-demand skills in weeks or months rather than years. These credentials align with employer needs and drive higher wages, career mobility, and economic growth.Ìý
