East Central Educational Service Center

We’re excited and grateful to see our partnership with Eastern Indiana Works highlighted in a new AIR case study that examines the important role intermediaries play in expanding work-based learning across Indiana.

As Indiana’s new high school diploma increases the role of work-based learning, strong partnerships among schools, employers, and regional organizations will be essential. We’re proud to work alongside EIW to help connect those pieces and create meaningful career-connected opportunities for students throughout our region.

Thank you to AIR for highlighting this important work and the collaborative efforts happening across Indiana!
