Richard Paulk
Gov. Eric Holcomb recently appointed Richard Paulk as the new commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
Paulk joined the DWD in January as chief administrative officer. He previously served as chief financial officer for Chicago Rising, a redevelopment organization focusing on the restoration of commercial and residential buildings, as well as providing employment opportunities for ex-offenders.
“Richard’s strategic and financial background in several industries is the right fit as we continue DWD’s service to Hoosiers, whether it is helping them to obtain education and training or finding a job,” Holcomb said in a news release. “He will continue to be a great partner with like-minded entities inside and outside of government.”
Paulk began on May 15 and our staff is eager to work with him and his team in partnership to enhance Indiana’s workforce.
