Salesforce.org awarded $500,000 to Ivy Tech to be used over two years to develop an Information Technology Career Development model that supports IT students from enrollment through graduation and heightens career-preparedness.

"Over the next year, this partnership with Salesforce.org will enable IPS to enact strategic human capital and talent management projects that will positively affect thousands of IPS educators and central services team members.
