Connecting the Residents of Southeast Indiana to Economic Opportunity through Education by 2015
Economic Opportunities through Education by 2015 (EcO15) is initially focusing on education and careers associated with Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Hospitality/Tourism for 10 counties in Southeastern Indiana. Counties include: Bartholomew, Dearborn, Decatur, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Ohio, Ripley, and Switzerland. Advanced Manufacturing is the value-added combination of people, processes, and products, which remains competitive in a high-wage environment in the pursuit of continuous improvement. Advanced Manufacturing is the major economic cluster in SE Indiana, therefore, the major focus of the initiative. To meet the workforce needs of today’s manufacturers, EcO15 and the national Dream It. Do It. campaign are working together to promote much needed training to learners that addresses the need for highly skilled workers in the new manufacturing environment in this region.
Our Vision:
Careers that work-for every person. Improving educational opportunities in the career fields that drive our regional economies:
