House Enrolled Act 1002-2023 tasked the Commission with developing a Career Coaching Framework to provide comprehensive and relevant information about career pathways to Hoosier students.
The Commission worked with the Indiana Department of Education and other stakeholders to develop Indiana's Career Coaching Framework which centers on career exploration, engagement, and experience.
To implement the Career Coaching Framework, the Commission awarded $25 million in Career Coaching Grants to 28 intermediaries. Grant funding has been primarily utilized to fund career coaches who provide supports and services aligned to the Career Coaching Framework to students at partner schools. Career coaches must hold a certification in individual personality and interest inventory interpretation that has been approved by the Indiana Department of Education. The following certifications have been approved:
- DeBruce Foundation Certified Agilities Coach
- Myers Briggs VitaNavis Career Coach Certification
