印第安纳州：州长宣布近1900万美元联邦资金扩大学徒与职业培训
印第安纳州州长 Mike Braun 本周宣布，该州获得近1,900万美元联邦资金，用于加强职业培训、扩大注册学徒机会，帮助更多居民进入高需求行业就业。
资金支持四项计划，涵盖注册学徒、特殊教育教师培养、重返社会人员就业与产业驱动技能培训。其中，产业驱动技能培训基金获670万美元。州政府表示，资金将扩大短期与长期培训机会，包括注册学徒计划与认证预学徒计划，重点行业包括先进制造、教育、信息技术、建筑与医疗。
Braun 表示，印第安纳州建有全国认可的学徒体系，把居民与职业机会连接起来，也帮助雇主培养熟练工人，这些投资将进一步扩大这一成效。州商务厅长 Chuck Goodrich 表示，把培训与教育工具送到居民手中，是州政府最重要的服务之一。
州政府还介绍，该州退伍军人就业补助计划（JVSG）在2026联邦财年超额完成目标：退出计划的退伍军人中逾66%在第二季度实现就业，高于62%的目标。该计划由州劳动力发展厅运营，在 WorkOne 办公室配置专职人员为退伍军人提供就业服务。
Indiana: Governor Announces Nearly $19 Million in Federal Funding to Expand Workforce Training
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced this week nearly $19 million in federal funding to strengthen workforce training, expand apprenticeship opportunities and connect more Hoosiers with careers in high-demand industries.
The funding supports four initiatives focused on registered apprenticeships, special education teacher preparation, reentry employment and industry-driven skills training, including $6.7 million from the Industry-Driven Skills Training Fund. State officials said the awards will expand short- and long-term training, including Registered Apprenticeship Programs and Certified Pre-Apprenticeship Programs, in advanced manufacturing, education, information technology, construction and health care.
Braun said Indiana has built a nationally recognized apprenticeship system that connects Hoosiers with career opportunities while helping employers develop skilled workers, and that the investments will build on that success. Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich said connecting Hoosiers with training and educational tools is one of the most important services the state can provide.
The state also reported that its Jobs for Veterans State Grants program exceeded its goals in federal fiscal year 2026, with more than 66% of veterans who exited the program employed in the second quarter, above the 62% goal. The program, operated by the Department of Workforce Development, funds specialized staff at WorkOne offices who serve veterans and connect employers with military talent.
