The Indianapolis-based Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation has announced grants totaling nearly $13 million to support the Indiana Career Apprenticeship Pathway (INCAP), a statewide career apprenticeship initiative. The funding will be used to develop new strategies for high school and adult students to train for in-demand careers and help businesses across the state find and train employees.

The grants were awarded to eight Indiana organizations, including Ascend Indiana, the Indy Chamber, and EmployIndy. The funding will facilitate the development of statewide employer groups, support existing industry talent associations, and drive employer and student engagement. According to Claire Fiddian-Green, president and CEO of the Fairbanks Foundation, “INCAP serves as a vehicle for employers and educators to collaborate in a process that serves both students and industry. It promises to revolutionize the way Indiana equips people for careers and, as a result, prepare Indiana for long-term economic growth.”

The INCAP initiative will allow high school students to split their time between the workplace and the classroom, with at least 50% of their training taking place on the job. Students will be paid by their employers and work year-round, gaining in-demand skills and ensuring employers realize a return on investment. The first cohort of high school students will begin their INCAP apprenticeships in the fall of 2026
