Joseph E. Kernan, Governor Katherine L. Davis, Lt. Governo

Dear Business Leader:

As you know, in the last several years Indiana has taken an aggressive approach to creating jobs and improving the skills of

its workforce.

Weve restructured our entire corporate tax code in order to spur more job growth, weve implemented Energize Indiana, the

most sweeping economic development plan in our states history, and weve reformed state procurement practices to give

Indiana-based businesses greater opportunities to bid on state contracts.

This progress has not gone unnoticed. In April, Site Selection magazine named Indiana the most competitive state foreconomic development in 2003, and just last month, our state training programs earned a 9th place ranking by

Expansion Managementmagazine. However, we need to stay focused on continued growth, and with Indiana@Work we

are doing just that.

Announced earlier this year, Indiana@Work focuses on our states greatest assetHoosier workers. Through this innovative

workforce development initiative, workers can upgrade their skill levels and companies can become more competitive.

Indiana@Work connects businesses with qualified workers, using a system of skills assessment and job profiling through

ACT's nationally recognized WorkKeys system. This free program helps companies increase their productivity, reduces the

amount of time and money spent on hiring decisions, and provides funding for additional training as needed. Indiana@Work

ensures that our workers have the skills they needs to be successful, and that our Hoosier companies remain competitive in

their industry and the global marketplace.

Since its inception, weve worked with more than 125 Hoosier businesses and have committed to profile more than

500 different job categories and assess the skills of more than 25,000 individual citizens.

We are excited to support Hoosier companies through Indiana@Work, and we encourage you to join the number of

businesses who know a confident, skilled workforce is the best resource for growing the Indiana economy.

For more information, contact your regional Workforce Development representative at 1-888-WorkOne, or visit

www.indianaatwork.IN.gov.

Thanks for your time and for your commitment to Indiana.

Sincerely,

Joseph E. Kernan

Governor
