Through these strategic partnerships, Ascend equips Indiana’s workforce with the skills to succeed, shaping careers and fueling the state’s economic growth. From the classroom to the boardroom, Ascend is building a stronger, more dynamic Indiana.
Ascend is an initiative of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP), which fosters growth and innovation in Indiana’s economy, uniting leaders from the state’s corporations, foundations, and universities to promote collaboration. CICP launched Ascend Indiana in 2016 to strengthen the talent pipeline for key sectors, including advanced manufacturing, agbiosciences, life sciences, and technology.
In partnership with CICP’s sector initiatives, Ascend supports talent development efforts to drive growth across these industries while also collaborating with statewide organizations to support sectors like banking, finance, and healthcare.
Our mission makes an impact because of our partners. If you’re an employer, public-sector organization, or educational institution committed to strengthening the workforce, we want to partner with you.
