Report: Certifications up
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
The number of Hoosiers earning certificates has skyrocketed in the last decade, and that trend s helping Indiana inch toward its goal of equipping 60% of adults with education and training beyond high school by 2025, according to a new report released by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.
A total of 21,628 certificates were conferred in 2019, up from 3,390 in 2009, the 2020 Certificates Report said, noting that credentials for health-related fields were especially popular.
The growth coincides with a recent emphasis on short-term credentials to get more adults into high-demand, good-paying jobs quickly, the commission said in a news release.
