From your first call to your first paycheck
We handle the complexity — funding paperwork, scheduling, credential testing, and employer introductions. You focus on training.
01
Check your eligibility
Register at Indiana Career Connect and meet with a WorkOne case manager. They determine which funding you qualify for — WIOA, Workforce Ready Grant, or JRI. Free, takes about a week.
02
Enroll in a cohort
Once funding is confirmed, you join a scheduled cohort. Training combines classroom instruction, hands-on lab work, and online coursework. All tools, materials, and safety gear are provided.
03
Earn your credential
You sit for a proctored certification exam on-site at Elevate. Your credential is issued by the national certifying body — EPA, OSHA, Indiana ISDH, Certiport, or AWS. Portable and verifiable nationwide.
04
Get placed with an employer
Our career services team builds your resume, preps you for interviews, and makes direct introductions to hiring employers. Many students have job offers before their last day of class.
