What happened
LIFT, a national manufacturing innovation institute, launched Operation Next in Indiana. This workforce initiative partners with Vincennes University to provide specialized training to military veterans for high-demand civilian careers. The pilot program will fund a six-month learning cohort for 25 veterans in Lebanon, Indiana, to combat a deficit of credentialed technicians in Indiana's manufacturing workforce. The initiative is funded by the Department of War Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program.
