Indiana's Promoted Industry Certifications

Indiana’s Promoted Industry Certifications List is a list of certifications that have undergone a rigorous process for inclusion and promotion in the state. To be included on the list, a certification must meet the state’s quality and verification standards, be recognized, and valued by industry, and lead to quality employment. Industry Certifications that appear on this list may be further reviewed for consideration of WIOA funding, Graduation Pathways and/or other funding incentives offered by the state. Certifications are reviewed bi-annually in April and October to ensure the Promoted Industry Certifications list remains relevant to current industry needs. To learn more, or apply, please review the application instructions below.
