EmployIndy is increasingly applying an intentional, neighborhood-driven approach to delivering education, training, employability skills, and work-based learning at the neighborhood level to advance strong and supportive communities. Mirroring the Mayor’s charge focused on five zip codes most affected by poverty and unemployment (46201, 46205, 46208, 46218 and 46235), EmployIndy is prioritizing efforts in these Target Impact Areas (see https://employindy.org/strategic-initiatives/target-impact-areas/ for more information).
