Funding & No-Cost Training Options

Many Indianapolis and Indiana residents qualify for funded workforce training through federal and state programs. As an ETPL-approved provider, Elevate for Humanity is authorized to accept funding referrals from approved agencies.

The most common funding sources for our participants are the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Workforce Ready Grant, and FSSA IMPACT. Eligibility is determined by the referring agency, not by Elevate for Humanity.

  • WIOA — federal workforce funding for eligible adults and dislocated workers
  • Workforce Ready Grant — Indiana state funding for in-demand credentials
  • FSSA IMPACT — state program for qualifying public-assistance recipients
  • Job Ready Indy — Marion County workforce initiative
  • Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) — reentry workforce funding

Final funding eligibility is determined by your local WorkOne office or workforce agency, not by Elevate for Humanity. Contact us or WorkOne to start the eligibility process.
