The Indiana Plan's mission is to address and correct the problem of low minority participation in the building trades. To do this, the Indiana Plan offers comprehensive services for both the signatory contrators who work with us to find recruits, and also for the minority and women workers we help train and find jobs for in the union construction industry in Indiana. Since 1970, the Indiana Plan has worked to create opportunity for minorities and women in our state's construction trades.
The Indiana Plan is the only pre-apprenticeship program endorsed by the Indiana State Building Trades. We have developed strong relationships in the community and we're widely known as THE pre-apprenticeship program for the construction industry.
Training takes place throughout the state of Indiana. The curriculum provides candidates with a basic understanding of principles that are required in any building trades program, such as mathematics.
The curriculum also provides a solid background in construction trades, basic life skills and adult basic education. The curriculum, which is approved by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship, includes OSHA 10 safety training.
