Build Tech Talent Through Apprenticeship

Adult Apprenticeship connects motivated adults with employers ready to build tech talent. Through paid, work-based learning, apprentices gain hands-on experience, targeted training and mentorship while employers develop stronger pipelines for high-demand roles.

What is Adult Apprenticeship?

A Structured Model for Building Non-Traditional Tech Careers

Adult Apprenticeship is a paid, work-based learning model that pairs Indiana employers with adults building the skills to move into or grow within high-demand tech roles. It combines real work experience with mentorship, coaching and targeted technical training: creating a clearer pathway for workers and a stronger, more sustainable talent pipeline for employers.

Whether you’re building a team or building a new career, the path forward looks a little different depending on which side of the table you’re on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before applying, it’s important to understand how Adult Apprenticeship works and what it does and does not guarantee. Review these common questions to learn more about eligibility, paid employment, training and the hiring process.

A paid, work-based learning model that pairs Indiana employers with adults building the skills to move into or grow within tech roles. Apprentices earn a wage while training on the job, combining real work experience with mentorship and targeted technical training.
It's for two groups: employers looking to widen their hiring pipeline and develop talent for hard-to-fill roles, and adults — career changers, veterans, bootcamp graduates and others without a traditional tech background — looking for a structured way into a tech career. It's generally not intended for candidates who already have a computer science degree or significant professional tech experience, since the program is built around foundational training rather than experienced-hire placement.
Yes. Apprentices are paid employees from day one. For employers, grant funding from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation is also available to help offset training costs for eligible Indiana organizations.
No. For candidates, joining the program doesn't guarantee placement — employers make the final hiring decision based on role fit. For employers, availability depends on aligning your open roles with candidates in the pipeline at that time.
Apprenticeships are available across Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Software Development, IT Generalist / ServiceNow, Applied AI Associate, Cloud / IT Infrastructure, and Project Management & Digital Marketing — shaped around what participating employers need most at any given time.
If you're an employer, start a conversation with TechPoint's talent team about hiring an apprentice. If you're exploring a career change, submit an interest form to see if the program may be a fit for you.
