Do you employ students as part of an internship program?

If so, you may be eligible to receive 50% reimbursement for wages paid. Hoosier employers with an approved internship that hire students who are eligible and participating in a resume-building, experiential, paid internship may receive state matching funds under the EARN Indiana program.

The Employment Aid Readiness Network (EARN) Indiana is an experiential learning internship program administered by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE) in partnership with Work and Learn Indiana (WLI). It is designed to provide financial assistance to employers who provide paid internships for qualified Hoosier students currently enrolled in a post-secondary education program and/or students attending an Indiana secondary school.

To see if your internship is eligible, begin by registering as an employer on Work and Learn Indiana, create an internship posting, and say “yes” to the question “would you like to utilize EARN Indiana funding?”
