INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) recently announced that the hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers enrolled in the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) are now also eligible for the state’s new Gateway to Work program. Gateway to Workwill help HIP members who enroll identify a career path that could lead to either securing gainful employment or a better job in a new industry.
Gateway to Work is a free, voluntary program that offers Healthy Indiana Plan members a variety of services, including an initial assessment of their skills and abilities to identify personal actions to achieve their employment goals.
The program assists Healthy Indiana Plan members with completing job applications, creating resumes, improving job-interview skills and job-search assistance. Gateway to Work features tools to match participants’ experience and skills with employers who have job openings.
Some Gateway to Work participants may also be eligible for assistance to overcome any barriers to getting a job that can be discouraging to someone with a low income. These can include money for transportation or clothing for job interviews.
Interested plan members can visit the Web site at www.in.gov/fssa/hip/2466.htm for more information, or call 1-800-403-0864 and choose Option 1, then Option 6.
