Activate Talent

Our advanced manufacturing and logistics (AML) industries rely on a talented workforce to help position Indiana as a global leader. That’s especially true today, because many of the jobs that will move industry forward are yet to be imagined—or are still in the early stages of becoming a career path. We provide countless resources to help prepare Hoosiers for these positions and all the opportunities they afford.

Industry Talent Association

Indiana AML companies face a common challenge: finding, training and retaining skilled talent. The Industry Talent Association (ITA) was built so employers don’t have to solve the challenge alone.

Advanced manufacturing and logistics leaders worked together to establish Indiana’s first statewide structure for defining occupational standards in advanced manufacturing and logistics.

Catapult Indiana
