The Indiana Department of Workforce Development is a proud part of Operation Allies Welcome to welcome vulnerable Afghans into the state.
Former Commissioner Fred Payne saw the immediate need for the agency to get involved as employment is one of the key factors for a family to thrive and be self-sufficient. A talented workforce is critical to the success of your organization and communities across Indiana. By connecting and engaging, strong, successful partnerships are created. At this point, all 7,200 Afghan guests that called Camp Atterbury home have now resettled across the United States. The DWD is excited to welcome 700 new Hoosiers to our communities.
You can watch an informational webinar for an overview of the program and how your business can get involved.
Connect with your local Workone Business Services team with job descriptions and ongoing recruitment efforts. To be a part of a monthly meeting to discuss your experience employing our new neighbors or to learn best practices as you begin to hire this talent, please reach out to Holly Meyer at HMeyer@dwd.IN.gov.
