INDIANAPOLIS — A new workforce development program is underway to respond to the growing economic challenges faced by Indy’s underserved communities. PLA University is a tuition-free training program created to provide Phalen Leadership Academies’ families with the access, skills, experience, and job placement support to realize their full earning potential.
With its first pilot launching next year, PLA University will be based on Indy’s Far Eastside and offer PLA family members an opportunity to choose from four career tracks including: Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Logistics Management, and Health & Life Sciences. The free training will support family members in obtaining careers with starting salaries of $30,000-$50,000 per year plus benefits, and the opportunity for future career advancement.
PLA University will partner with businesses and community organizations that share the same goal of investing in families and adults by providing training job placement, and opportunities for economic security.
