(INDIANAPOLIS) - Gov. Holcomb Monday toured the Purdue Polytechnic Institute in Anderson, Indiana and learned about the facility’s certificate and degree programs for adults and college-age students.
Gov. Holcomb, Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne and Career Connections & Talent Secretary Blair Milo participate in a roundtable discussion with local leaders and employers. Corey Sharp, director of the Purdue Polytechnic Institute Anderson, moderated the discussion. This Anderson location is one of nine Purdue Polytechnic facilities statewide. Working closely with local employers, the site is focused on helping students earn technology-focused credentials to enter engineering careers in the east central part of the state.
The goal of the visit was learn about successful, locally-developed programs to skill-up Hoosiers and put them to work in high-demand, high-wage careers.
Gov. Holcomb toured the facility's industrial training spaces, where students gain hands-on experience in a wide range of careers, such as robotics, CNC operation, laser cutting, 3D printing, and more. Adult and college-age students can earn certificates, associate degrees or bachelor's degrees at Anderson's Purdue Polytechnic Institute.
