Work-based Learning
Preparing the Future Workforce for In-Demand, Rewarding Careers
Advanced manufacturing and logistics (AML) is growing rapidly in Indiana, and there is no lack of rewarding, lucrative careers in these industries. But our state still faces a shortage of qualified workers, and part of the reason is because many young people don’t have sufficient training or even the awareness to know these careers exist. With about 30% of Hoosiers finishing high school without a plan for higher education or defined starting point for a career, there is a tremendous opportunity to overcome these challenges.
One of the best ways to help prepare young people for the workforce is
through real-world experience that can help them hit the ground running
once they graduate high school or college.

CEMETS iLab
We’re helping lay the foundation for a new professional education and training pathway for Hoosiers rooted in youth and young adult apprenticeships.
The CEMETS iLab Indiana pathway combines classroom education with on-the-job training to prepare high school students for careers in AML and develops a new talent pipeline for employers seeking to address workforce needs.
Modern Apprenticeship
Modern Apprenticeship (MAP) is a work-based learning program for Central Indiana high school students, giving them the hands-on career training they need to thrive in AML.
We partner with MAP to help employers establish a talent pipeline to meet current and future staffing needs. Through high school apprenticeship programs, employers can introduce students to careers in AML and shape their career decisions.
