21st Century Talent Regions: A Year in Review
In 2019, the Indiana Office of Career Connections and Talent designated a total of four 21st Century Talent Regions – Northeast Indiana, EcO Network of Southeast Indiana, Indiana Uplands and Hamilton County.
It has been amazing to see how much growth and opportunity has stemmed from the collaboration of local-, regional- and state-level leaders throughout Indiana.
Each of these regions continues to play an integral role in making Indiana a better place to live, work and play, building and implementing region-specific plans to attract, develop and connect talent.
In our January blog, we highlight the four 21st Century Talent Regions designated in 2019, elaborating on the goals of each region. Click below to read more.
Over the next year, we intend to continue work with Indiana communities to increase educational attainment, raise household income and grow population, acknowledging those efforts with additional well-deserved 21st Century Talent Region designations.
We're off to a great start in 2020 with the South Bend Elkhart Region designated the year's first 21st Century Talent Region earlier this month.
Congratulations to the South Bend - Elkhart
Regional Partnership and regional partners!

Indiana's second Skillful Governor’s Coaching Corps
Indiana’s Skillful Governor’s Coaching Corps (SGCC), a partnership of Skillful and the state of Indiana, is now accepting applications for its second cohort of career coaches.
SGCC is an intensive program that recognizes the vital role career coaches play in bridging the gap between individuals and employers, supporting economic growth across that state and guiding professional advancement for thousands of Hoosiers.
The program gives coaches supplemental tools and training they can use to better serve people in a rapidly changing labor market and to invest in their own personal and professional development. At the end of the program, coaches recommend new practices and approaches to state policymakers for adoption.
Applicants from high schools, community colleges, workforce centers and nonprofit organizations across the state are encouraged to submit an application via skillful.com/indianaSGCC before Feb. 5.
