THE NEW 21ST CENTURY TALENT
REGIONS PROGRAM IN 12
COMMUNITIES AROUND THE STATE,

00:00:31.631 --> 00:00:37.704
ENCOURAGING LOCAL AND REGIONAL
COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS
WORKFORCE AND TALENT PIPELINE
CHALLENGES.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
ME.

9
00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:51.484
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS NEXT
LEVEL AGENDA.
WE ALL KNOW THAT TALENT,
WORKFORCE, BIG ISSUE IN INDIANA,

10
00:00:51.484 --> 00:00:58.191
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, BUT GIVE
US AN IDEA OF HOW SUBSTANTIAL
OUR HOW REAL THIS ISSUE IS IN
TERMS OF CREATING MORE TALENT.

11
00:00:58.191 --> 00:01:03.530
>> SURE.
WELL, WE ANTICIPATE HAVING OVER
A MILLION JOBS THAT WE NEED TO
FILL OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, AND

12
00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:11.704
WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING NOT ONLY
ACROSS THE STATE BUT REALLY
ACROSS THE WORLD, THE GOVERNOR
HAS SHARED HE'S HAD THESE

13
00:01:11.704 --> 00:01:18.211
CONVERSATIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL
LEETDERS THAT HE
LEADERS HE TALKS WITH, THE
CHANGING NATURE OF WORK, TO

14
00:01:18.211 --> 00:01:22.949
ENSURE WE'RE DEVELOPING
AWARENESS FOR WHAT THESE KINDS
OF OPPORTUNITIES ARE AS WELL AS
THEN DEVELOPING THOSE SKILLS TO

15
00:01:22.949 --> 00:01:28.354
BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THESE GROWING NUMBERS OF
POSITIONS THAT ALSO HAVE HIGHER
WAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM AS

16
00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:35.094
WELL.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THERE ARE SEVERAL ELEMENTS HERE.
ONE, WORKFORCE READY GRANTS,

17
00:01:35.094 --> 00:01:39.599
ALSO EMPLOYER TRAINING GRANTS,
THOSE ARE ALREADY IN THE WORKS
AND INDIVIDUALS AND ALSO
COMPANIES HAVE BEEN TAKING

18
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.670
ADVANTAGE.
>> YES.
WE'VE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
WITH THE NEXT LEVEL JOBS PROGRAM

19
00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:51.845
THAT YOU MENTIONED, THE
WORKFORCE READY GRANT HAS SERVED
ALMOST 12,000 INDIVIDUALS THAT
HAVE ENROLLED IN SOME HIGH WAGE,

20
00:01:51.845 --> 00:01:57.884
HIGH DEMAND CERTIFICATE
PROGRAMS, ALMOST 4,000 PEOPLE
HAVE ALREADY EARNED THOSE
CERTIFICATES.

21
00:01:57.884 --> 00:02:04.157
WITH THE EMPLOYER TRAINING
GRANT, WE'VE HAD OVER 450
BUSINESSES ACROSS THE STATE WHO
HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE

22
00:02:04.157 --> 00:02:09.762
PROGRAM, AND ALMOST 7,000 PEOPLE
TRAINED THROUGH THAT PROGRAM AS
WELL.
LOOKING TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND

23
00:02:09.762 --> 00:02:16.269
THAT, TO DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT'S
WORKING THAT WE'VE SEEN
TREMENDOUS SUCCESS THERE, SO
EXCITED TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH

24
00:02:16.269 --> 00:02:22.008
OUR LEGISLATIVE PARTNERS TO
CONTINUE PROVIDING THOSE KINDS
OF TOOLS.
>> YOU'VE REALLY LAUNCHED WHAT I

25
00:02:22.008 --> 00:02:27.614
WOULD CONSIDER SOMEWHAT OF A NEW
MODEL FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE,
THESE 21ST CENTURY TALENT
REGIONS.

26
00:02:27.614 --> 00:02:33.353
SO REGIONS AROUND THE STATE OF
INDIANA THAT WOULD APPLY TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS.
TALK ABOUT HOW THEY WORK.

27
00:02:33.353 --> 00:02:41.194
>> WELL, IN AREAS WHERE WE'VE
SEEN SUCCESS, WHERE WE'RE SEEING
REGIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO ATTRACT
POPULATIONS, THEY'RE GROWING

28
00:02:41.194 --> 00:02:46.766
THEIR POPULATION, THEY'RE
GROWING THEIR MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD
INCOME AND GROWING THEIR
EDUCATION ATTAINMENT LEVELS, WE

29
00:02:46.766 --> 00:02:51.037
SAID WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS AREA
THAT'S HAPPY HEPING MAKE THIS
WORK?
IT'S COLLABORATION, IT'S WHERE

30
00:02:51.037 --> 00:02:58.211
YOU HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT
ENTITIES TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER
REGULARLY TO EXPLAIN WHO'S DOING
WHAT WHERE TO PUT SOME METRICS

31
00:02:58.211 --> 00:03:05.952
AROUND HOW THEY'RE ALL WORKING
TOGETHER AND TO HAVE THOSE THREE
KEY GOALS FOR ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT PARTNERS TO WORK

32
00:03:05.952 --> 00:03:13.593
TOWARDS, AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING
WITH THE 21ST CENTURY TALENT
REGIONS IS TO OFFER UP THE
OPPORTUNITY TO EARN THE

33
00:03:13.593 --> 00:03:19.566
DESIGNATION BY HAVING A PLAN IN
PLACE TO ATTRACT, DEVELOP AND
CONNECT TALENT.
>> SO THE ONUS IS REALLY ON THE

34
00:03:19.566 --> 00:03:25.805
REGIONS, RIGHT, TO COME AND
APPLY, CREATE A PLAN, AND I
MENTIONED REGIONS, I THINK
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT WORD, IT'S A

35
00:03:25.805 --> 00:03:29.242
REGIONAL APPROACH SO
COLLABORATION IS GOING TO BE KEY
TO MAKING IT HAPPEN.
>> RIGHT.

36
00:03:29.242 --> 00:03:35.715
AND EACH REGION IS GOING TO LOOK
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, AND AS
WE'VE SHARED WITH -- WE'VE HAD,
I THINK ALREADY FOUR

37
00:03:35.715 --> 00:03:44.524
APPLICATIONS, WE'VE GOT PROBABLY
ANOTHER FOUR THAT ARE JUST ABOUT
TO ENTER SO THIS HAS BEEN TAKING
OFF VERY QUICKLY, AND WE'VE SAID

38
00:03:44.524 --> 00:03:51.164
WE WANT TO BE A TRUE PARTNER
WITH YOU, THAT WE WANT TO MEET
YOU WHERE YOU'RE AT AND THEN BE
ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT SOME OF

39
00:03:51.164 --> 00:04:00.139
YOUR NEEDS ARE IN ORDER TO MEET
THOSE DIFFERENT NUANCES OF OUR
DIFFERENT REGIONS.
>> THIS IS REALLY A PLAN MODELED

40
00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:04.143
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM IN
THE COLUMBUS AREA IN SOUTHEAST
INDIANA.
>> VERY MUCH SO.

41
00:04:04.143 --> 00:04:11.918
AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH
NOT ONLY THAT TEAM, BUT SOME OF
THE OTHER PARTNERS ACROSS THE
STATE AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN IN

42
00:04:11.918 --> 00:04:19.859
CLOSE CONVERSATION WITH THE
LUMINA FOUNDATION ON THINGS
THEY'VE LEARNED THROUGH THEIR
TALENT HUB PROGRAM AND THAT

43
00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:24.497
DESIGNATION.
THE INDIVIDUALS FROM CIVIC LAB
WHO ARE THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANTS
THAT ARE A PART OF 21ST CENTURY

44
00:04:24.497 --> 00:04:32.538
TALENT REGIONS ARE ALSO THE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANTS PROVIDED TO
THE NATIONAL TALENT HUBS THROUGH
THE LUMINA FOUNDATION, SO WE'VE

45
00:04:32.538 --> 00:04:39.245
GOT SOME GREAT EXPERTS THAT ARE
A PART OF THIS PROCESS, BUT WE
WANT TO ENGAGE THOSE TRUE
EXPERTS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL TO

46
00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:46.919
ENSURE THAT WE'RE CAPITALIZING
ON THE TREMENDOUS WORK GOING ON
AND THEN BEING ABLE TO
COLLABORATE AND BRING THAT ALL

47
00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:53.393
TOGETHER TO GET THOSE AREAS OF
GROWING EDUCATION ATTAIN MENT,
GROWING POPULATION, AND GROWING
OUR MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME.

48
00:04:53.393 --> 00:04:59.465
>> YOU'VE GOT FOUR IN THE
PIPELINE, MAYBE AN ADDITIONAL
FOUR AS WELL IF A REGION AROUND
THE STATE WANTS TO PARTICIPATE

49
00:04:59.465 --> 00:05:04.771
AND REALLY GET ENGAGED, WHAT DO
THEY NEED TO DO?
>> WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME TO
THE CAREER CONNECTIONS AND

50
00:05:04.771 --> 00:05:13.079
TALENT WEBSITE, IT'S IN.GOV/CCT,
AND THERE'S AN APPLICATION
PROCESS THERE THAT STARTS THE
CONVERSATION.

51
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:20.520
AND THEN WE'RE ABLE TO ENGAGE
WITH THEM ON BEING ABLE TO TALK
THROUGH WHAT KIND OF ON-SITE
VISITS WE CAN DO TO BEGIN THE

52
00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:25.425
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND GET THE
REGION TO HAVE THAT DESIGNATION
IN PLACE.
>> ALL RIGHT.

53
00:05:25.425 --> 00:05:26.426
TALENT A BIG ISSUE, WORKFORCE,
