The State Earn and Learn IT Program
The Indiana Office of Technology (IOT) continues to enhance the state's ability to identify and develop the next generation of technology professionals using a unique strategy of non-traditional
hiring.
Where it started
In 2019, IOT was certified by the Department of Workforce Development as the first agency to use a State Earn and Learn (SEAL) designation to engage new hires in a program of work-based learning.
A strategic, multi-agency partnership, IOT's SEAL program provides its associates with practical skills and certifications that will support public-sector IT while putting Hoosiers to work in a highly needed, highly meaningful area of growing economic value.
SEAL participants can come from all walks of life, including those who are seeking a mid-career skill shift. Once hired, SEALs engage in a hybrid schedule that not only provides candidates with industry-valued certifications, but also actual work-based experience within an IOT team. Positions are entry-level and require onsite work in Downtown Indianapolis.
Today in numbers: We have hired 57 people in the program, 42 of those are graduates.
