As more industries statewide seek workers to meet their labor demands, one education nonprofit says institutions of higher learning can play a huge role. Managing Director Peter Bahr, PhD, said there are some marked differences in how Indiana is building its college-educated workforce. “So many states have set very, very ambitious goals to expand their college-educated workforce. The share of the college-educated workforce that moved to Indiana from other states is around 16%, compared with the national average of 24%. Indiana’s colleges and universities have an important role in retaining graduates for the state’s workforce, which can diminish the “brain drain,” Bahr explained.
