Governor Pence’sRoadmap for Indiana

“Every student deserves the same opportunity for success, whether they want to go to college or start their career right out of high school. This is not about a Plan A and a Plan B – this is about two Plan A’s. It advances the principle that all honest work is honorable work.”

-Governor Mike Pence

Two Plan A’s

The Center for Education and Career Innovation (CECI) was established by Governor Mike Pence via an Executive Order in August 2013. Its mission is to advance the learning outcomes for Hoosier students and adult workers by:(1) aligning statewide efforts to connect the

education and workforce training pipeline with the needs of Indiana’s employers, and

(2) supporting the expansion of innovative and highly effective education and career development initiatives.

Establishment of CECI

Center for Education and Career Innovation (CECI) staffs the Works Councils and also staffs the following:

Indiana Career Council Education Roundtable State Board of Education CECI partners closely with CHE, DOE, DWD and

other state agencies as well as philanthropic organizations and other statewide non-profits.

Structure of CECI

CECI’s guiding principles include: Supporting integrated service delivery that is student- and

adult worker-centric, and is focused on defined outcomes. Ensuring Indiana’s educators are given the necessary

freedom, support and flexibility to succeed in the classroom, and are rewarded for their successes. Fostering, identifying and scaling the most innovative and effective education and workforce models, tools and resources.

Holding students, adult workers, educators, schools, higher education institutions and workforce programs accountable for their progress through rigorous, fair and transparent accountability systems.

Eliminating silos and aligning resource allocation efforts in collaboration with public and private sector partners, providers and employers.

Career Pathways

Career Pathways System

Graphic courtesy of the Center for Law & Social Policy

State/Regional/Local commitment to: Share vision and overarching strategies Respond to local/regional employer needs in key sectors Establish metrics toward specific indicators & outcomes Align financial/other resources to incentivize coordination

across systems Contextualize instruction across pathways from secondary

(including CTE) to postsecondary education & training Offer multiple entry and exit points amid stackable credential

continuum for clients of all ages Support student transitions and reduce barriers to completion

through support services, assessments and counseling

Career Pathways & Sector Strategies

Sector-based strategies take a comprehensive, broad-based approach to identifying and addressing skills needs across key industries within a region rather than focusing on the workforce needs of individual employers on a case-by-case basis.

Sector strategies often result in the formation of industry partnerships, which are employer-led partnerships with support from workforce development, economic development, and education partners. ECO15, Northeast Indiana Partnership, Advancing Manufacturing

Initiative, etc.

Sector Strategies - Defined

Sector strategies harness industry intelligence to identify industry needs and design education and training resources to meet needs.

Industry partnerships create plans to: Identify key skill needs of sector: certifications, credentials,

degrees required for entry and promotion within sector Provide input into the development of training programs to meet

skill needs of sector Establish and support career pathways within sector Identify and align resources for education and training to support

sector Establish strategies for measuring success and impact of sector-

defined education and training strategies They serve to guide efficient investments of public resources and

leverage private resources
