INDIANAPOLIS — To increase access for all Marion County residents regardless of age or experience level, Job Ready Indy (JRI) will launch its curriculum online on Tuesday, Feb. 15. The online Job Ready Indy curriculum, an employability skills badging system, expands the scope beyond the original in-person programming.
Since its launch in 2018, JRI has served over 3,100 participants through employability skills curriculum, intensive in-person discussions, and enrichment activities.
Starting February 15, participants can earn each of the 6 JRI badges, learn new skills, and enhance their overall career competency through online interactive courses on EmployIndy’s Learning Hub. Participants can engage with the JRI courses on their own or through a trained JRI Provider.
• The expanded version also includes updated skills within each of the six badges, aligning with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s (DWD) own shift in employability skills definitions.
Additionally, EmployIndy has developed optional, in-person one-on-one or small group activities for JRI providers to lead participants in. These supplemental activities dive deeper into the online content of each badge, promoting relationship-building and allowing providers to give hands-on support to each participant.
