Elevate for Humanity Career & Technical Institute is a centralized apprenticeship sponsor and workforce training provider based in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating under 2Exclusive LLC-S. The institute coordinates related technical instruction, apprenticeship sponsorship, and licensed employer training sites under a unified governance structure.
Programs follow a five-stage pathway: eligibility screening, cohort-based training, industry credentialing, apprenticeship or job placement, and ongoing advancement support. Whether you are training to become a CNA, a CDL driver, a licensed barber, an HVAC technician, or a cybersecurity analyst — the pathway structure is the same.
Many of our programs are available through WIOA and state funding for eligible Indiana residents. WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding administered by Indiana's Department of Workforce Development. Eligibility is determined through WorkOne career centers. For those who qualify, tuition, materials, certification exams, and career services may be covered.
Every participant moves through these five stages in order. You do not skip stages. Each stage has a clear purpose, a defined timeline, and a specific outcome.

Elevate for Humanity operates as a Hybrid Workforce Training Provider and Registered Apprenticeship Sponsor. Training is delivered through licensed credential partners and approved program holders under centralized institutional oversight, with employer partners providing structured on-the-job training. Elevate manages enrollment, funding navigation, progress tracking, and career services.
In all cases, credentials are issued by recognized third-party authorities (Indiana ISDH, Indiana BMV, EPA, OSHA, Certiport, AWS, NCCER, Indiana PLA) — not by Elevate. Elevate prepares participants for certification exams. The credential itself comes from the issuing authority.
Apprenticeship programs (Barber, Building Technician) are DOL Registered Apprenticeships with Elevate as the registered sponsor. Apprentices train at approved host employer sites under licensed instructors.
You are working a job that does not pay enough or does not have a future. You want a credential that leads to a real career with benefits and growth.
You are out of work or working part-time. You may qualify for WIOA funding that covers 100% of your training, including materials and certification exams.
You have a record and need a fresh start. Job Ready Indy funding may cover your training. Many of our employer partners hire regardless of background.
You are not sure what to do after high school. WIOA Youth funding can cover career training that leads to a credential and a job in weeks, not years.
You have skills from military service. Our programs help you translate those skills into civilian credentials that employers recognize.
You need trained, credentialed workers. We run custom training cohorts for your hiring needs and handle all the funding paperwork.
Most people do not know they qualify for free training. We walk you through federal and state workforce funding eligibility and handle the paperwork with your local WorkOne career center.
CNA from Indiana ISDH. CDL from Indiana BMV. EPA 608 from the EPA. IT Specialist from Certiport. Barber license from Indiana PLA. These credentials are recognized nationwide.
Not job boards. Direct introductions to hiring managers at companies like Schneider National, FedEx Freight, local HVAC contractors, hospitals, and barbershops across Central Indiana.
We track your employment at 6 and 12 months. You keep access to the learning platform. Career services — resume help, interview coaching, job leads — are available as long as you need them.
The first step is checking your eligibility. It takes about 5 minutes online. If you qualify for funding, your entire training can be free.
