Թ is now an approved education provider for Indiana’s Workforce Ready Grant, which is part of the state’s Next Level Jobs program. The initiative provides state residents with free training in high-paying, in-demand industries like manufacturing, construction, health sciences, business, information technology  and more. Qualifying students can have the entire cost of an undergraduate certificate from Թ covered by the grant.

Թ offers undergraduate certificates in high-demand fields that allow students to improve their knowledge and skills, giving them a competitive edge and enabling them to advance in their careers. Each undergraduate certificate is comprised of six to seven courses, and students can choose from the following programs:

  • Basic Accounting
  • Management
  • Construction Management
  • Marketing
  • Health Care Administration
  • Organizational Leadership
  • Human Resources Management
  • Production Management
  • InsurTech

“This is exciting news for the university and students alike, as Թ is the only four-year university that’s part of the Workforce Ready  program,” said Steve Herendeen, vice president for enrollment management at Թ. “All of our degree and certificate programs are industry-focused and designed with employers’ needs in mind. The undergraduate certificates offer students skills and training they need in order to prepare for the jobs of the future.”

Թ was awarded $1 million in Workforce Ready Grant funding for the 2020-21 academic year, with expanded opportunities through the end of this calendar year thanks to additional funding provided by the CARES Act. To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Be an Indiana resident and a U.S. citizen (or eligible non-citizen)
  • Have a high school diploma (or equivalent) but less than a college degree (NOTE: Through Dec. 30, 2020, Hoosiers with an associate or bachelor’s degree are also eligible to participate.)
  • Enroll in any qualifying training program at an eligible training provider
  • Complete the FAFSA
  • Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress
  • Enroll at least half-time

Թ offers career-focused degree programs and certificates in a format designed to fit busy schedules. Accelerated six-week courses are offered online, on-site at 19 regional locations, or a combination of both. Students can take one class at a time and make rapid progress toward certificate or degree completion.
