Next Level Jobs - Ivy Tech Community College GET AN IVY TECH CREDENTIAL FOR FREE! WHAT IS THE NEXT LEVEL JOBS PROGRAM? Next Level Jobs is a program that gives you the opportunity to earn a FREE credential from Ivy Tech, thanks to the Workforce Ready Grant , setting you up to take your next step towards a high-paying, high-demand job in Indiana.

Students take classes to earn credits towards a short-term certificate (known as a certificate) or long-term certificate (known as a technical certificate) like any other Ivy Tech student—the difference is the Workforce Ready Grant pays for your tuition and fees.

Ivy Tech offers free certificates in the fields of advanced manufacturing, building and construction, health sciences, information technology, business, transportation, and logistics as part of the Next Level Jobs program. WHERE IS NEXT-LEVEL JOBS OFFERED? Every Ivy Tech campus offers a unique combination of academic programs and degrees.

All of our major campuses offer for-credit and non-credit credentials that can be earned free through the Next Level Jobs program. The Next Level Jobs program completely covers your tuition and mandatory fees if you qualify.

You are eligible to earn a free credential from Ivy Tech if you fulfill all of the following requirements: You are an Indiana resident, and You are eligible for state financial aid and filed a FAFSA You have a high school diploma (or equivalent) but less than a college degree First-time dependent students (based on the FAFSA dependency status) are not eligible for the Workforce Ready Grant for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Only independent students and dependent students who are continuing their program during the 2026-2027 academic year are eligible. NON-CREDIT SKILLS TRAINING OPTIONS Ivy Tech also offers a variety of free, non-credit skills training options within the Next Level Jobs program. This training is available tuition-free for all eligible students, but they do not count for college credit.

Skills training can be a great choice for students who do not intend to pursue a formal certificate, associate, or bachelor's degree, but want to seek a higher-paying, in-demand position. Contact your local Ivy + Career Link team member to learn more about non-credit skills training options.

Ivy Tech helped a non-traditional student from the Boomer generation go back to school. The Workforce Ready grant helped pay for my tuition, which eased a financial burden while paying a mortgage and raising a family. Next Level Jobs and Ivy Tech gave me the training and administrative skills needed to take my career to the next level.

” –Robert L. | Technical Certificate in Business Administration “ While attending Ivy Tech Fort Wayne, I was able to participate in the Conexus Case Competition and win first place as part of a multi-college team. It was an amazing experience!

Working on a real case with students from another college was challenging, but definitely enriching. The feeling of being the winning team was so exhilarating! I was very nervous because other teams seemed so well-prepared, but thanks to the good experiences that I’ve had with my Ivy Tech instructors, I was right there with them, ready to compete at a high level.
