NOBLESVILLE — Fewer high school graduates are going to college in Indiana, and manufacturing jobs are in demand here in the Hoosier state.
Manufacturing companies are starting to bring their production back to the states after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the CEO of the German manufacturing company INDEX Corporation says there is one problem – a lack of skilled labor workers. Several manufacturing companies have started offering apprenticeships where they recruit high school graduates to learn on the job.
Adams is a Noblesville High School graduate and one of the first people to go through INDEX Corps apprenticeship program. His lack of interest in college isn't uncommon in Indiana.
