00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.004
>> AS DIRECTOR OF IVY WORKS AT
IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE,
ARIEL CRAWLEY HAS DEMONSTRATED
AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO PROVIDE

2
00:00:05.004 --> 00:00:11.478
STUDENTS THE SUPPORT THEY NEED
TO FIRST EARN A DEGREE OR
WORKFORCE CREDENTIAL AND THEN TO
BUILD A CAREER IN ONE OF

3
00:00:11.478 --> 00:00:16.916
INDIANA'S FASTEST GROWING
FIELDS.
HER DEDICATION AND PERSONAL
SACRIFICE, ALL DONE IN SERVICE

4
00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:24.691
TO THE STUDENTS, EARNED HER TECH
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR.
>> IVY WORKS IS A PROGRAM FOR
FEMALE IVY TECH STUDENTS WHO ARE

5
00:00:24.691 --> 00:00:31.297
LOOKING TO PURSUE A DEGREE
CERTIFICATE OR TECHNICAL
CERTIFICATE IN INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY.

6
00:00:31.297 --> 00:00:37.604
OUR PROGRAM, I SAY, IS A PERFECT
MARRIAGE BETWEEN IVY IT TECH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND INDY WOMEN
IN TECH AND WHAT WE DO IS HELP

7
00:00:37.604 --> 00:00:45.545
SUPPORT THOSE WOMEN IN THEIR
ACADEMIC PURSUITS AT IVY IT TECH
WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT, WE
ALSO GIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE,

8
00:00:45.545 --> 00:00:53.119
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE, CHILD
CARE, WE PRETTY MUCH COVER ALL
WRAPAROUND SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE
THE LADIES ARE ABLE TO PERSIST

9
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.625
AND THEN WE ALSO ADD
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SO OUR
GOAL IS WHEN THE LADIES ARE
WALKING ACROSS THE STAGE WITH

10
00:00:58.625 --> 00:01:04.898
THEIR CAP AND GOWN, HOPEFULLY
THAT MONDAY THEY'RE WALKING INTO
A JOB INTO ONE OF THE TECH
INDUSTRIES HERE.

11
00:01:04.898 --> 00:01:12.572
>> AND I THINK THE IMPORTANT
PIECE IS THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT IS
REALLY ALMOST SECONDARY TO ALL A
THE SUPPORT SERVICES, RIGHT?

12
00:01:12.572 --> 00:01:19.746
TALK ABOUT HOW YOU ADMINISTER,
HOW YOU GIVE THOSE SERVICES AND
THE DIFFERENCE THAT THEY CAN
MAKE.

13
00:01:19.746 --> 00:01:27.654
>> SO WE GIVE THOSE ITEMS BY
ACTUALLY GOING TO THE TECH
COMPANY AND SEEING WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR, WHAT KIND OF ITEMS

14
00:01:27.654 --> 00:01:35.462
OR SOFT SKILLS DO YOU NEED IN
SOME OF YOUR OPEN POSITIONS, AND
THEN WE ACTUALLY REACH OUT TO
THOSE COMPANIES AS WELL TO HELP

15
00:01:35.462 --> 00:01:42.802
US OUT, SO WE DO MOCK INTERVIEWS
WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE H.R. FROM
MAYBE TECHPOINT OR DIFFERENT
ORGANIZATION OHS COME OUT AND

16
00:01:42.802 --> 00:01:49.876
GIVE OUR LADIES STRONG BUT GOOD
FEEDBACK SO THAT THEY KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO BE
AND EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO

17
00:01:49.876 --> 00:01:53.546
WORK ON.
>> DO YOU SEE OPPORTUNITY FOR
GROWTH?
>> OH OF COURSE.

18
00:01:53.546 --> 00:01:59.219
AS MUCH AS THE TECH WORK OH
FORCE IS GROWING HERE IN
INDIANA, WE DEFINITELY SEE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET MORE WOMEN,

19
00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:07.193
SO WE'RE HOPING WITH MORE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WE'LL BE
ABLE TO OPEN IT UP TO MORE WOMEN
AND OPEN UP MORE WOMEN WHO CAN

20
00:02:07.193 --> 00:02:16.669
ENTER IN THE TECH WORKFORCE AND
HELP REDUCE THAT GENDER GAP HERE
IN INDIANA.
>> MIKE, ARIEL IS PASSIONATE

21
00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:21.241
ABOUT WHAT SHE DOES, I THINK A
VERY DESERVING WINNER.
>> IT IS A RIGOROUS JUDGING
PROCESS.

22
00:02:21.241 --> 00:02:29.949
52 VOLUNTEER JUDGES PUT IN 850
HOURS TO REVIEW AND SCREEN EVERY
APPLICATION, AND IN-PERSON
INTERVIEWS FOR OVER 100 OF THEM.

23
00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:37.190
SO A BIG DEAL FOR ALL THESE
WINNERS, AND ARIEL INCLUDED.
ARIEL'S STORY IS SO AMAZING
BECAUSE SHE RISES ABOVE THE CALL

24
00:02:37.190 --> 00:02:44.497
OF JUST A JOB.
THIS IS REALLY A PASSION FOR HER
AND SHE EMBRACES THAT THIS IS A
KEY GATEWAY FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT

25
00:02:44.497 --> 00:02:51.971
JUST NEED A SHOT TO BE ABLE TO
GET INTO THE WORKFORCE, AND THIS
MISSION OF MAKING TECH
ACCESSIBLE TO WOMEN AND PEOPLE

26
00:02:51.971 --> 00:02:59.279
OF ALL DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUNDS
IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, AND
SHE'S DOING JUST A WONDERFUL JOB
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

27
00:02:59.279 --> 00:03:08.021
>> BIG TAKEAWAYS, ANOTHER THEME
I KNOW AS WE WERE TALKING OFF
CAMERA, THERE'S SO MUCH
EXCITEMENT AND MOMENTUM.

28
00:03:08.021 --> 00:03:14.894
YOU'VE GOT THIS FEELING THAT
PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO THINK BIG
AND THINK OUTSIDE OF THE STATE.
>> IT'S ABOUT INDIANA COMPANIES,

29
00:03:14.894 --> 00:03:21.634
IT'S A FOCUS ON A LOT OF TIMES
COMPANIES INSIDE THE STATE BUT
WE'RE AT THIS PLACE OF
BULLISHNESS NOW AND OPPORTUNITY

30
00:03:21.634 --> 00:03:28.808
WHERE WE'RE LOOKING OUTSIDE THE
STATE AND THERE'S A SENSE THAT
NOW IS OUR TIME.
RECENTLY LINKEDIN DID AN

31
00:03:28.808 --> 00:03:33.780
ANALYSIS LOOKING AT THE
LOCATIONS, WHAT THEY CALL THE
SWEET SPOTS WHERE JOB
OPPORTUNITY AND HOUSING

32
00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:38.184
AFFORDABILITY INTERSECT,
INDIANAPOLIS RANKED NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS AT A TIME WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE PLACES LIKE THE BAY AREA

33
00:03:38.184 --> 00:03:44.557
AND SEATTLE, AUSTIN, NEW YORK
CITY, WASHINGTON, D.C., CHICAGO,
ET CETERA, THERE'S A LOT OF PAIN
FOR COMPANIES AND FOR PEOPLE

34
00:03:44.557 --> 00:03:50.396
THAT ARE LIVING THERE.
I THINK THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
OF US AS HOOSIERS IS TO BE BOLD
EVANGELISTS.

35
00:03:50.396 --> 00:03:55.201
NOW WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE THAT WE
WENT TO SCHOOL WITH, WE GREW UP
WITH WHO ARE LIVING OUTSIDE THE
STATE.

36
00:03:55.201 --> 00:04:02.508
NOW IS THE TIME TO BRING THEM
BACK, AND TO BE TALKING REALLY
AGGRESSIVELY AND THAT'S A
CAMPAIGN THAT WE LAUNCHED AT THE

37
00:04:02.508 --> 00:04:10.683
MIRA AWARDS AT
TECHPOINT.ORG/HERE, TELL US AND
WE CAN NO,
NOMINATE THEM FOR N

38
00:04:10.683 --> 00:04:13.052
EVENT IN THE FALL.
>> CONGRATULATIONS ON SUPER MIRA
