Ivy Tech Supports Conexus Study with Class-A Solutions
Ivy Tech has trained more than 3,000 Class-A drivers for the heavy-duty trucking industry while the demand for certified drivers continues to outpace the supply of experienced and licensed professionals.
Conexus recently released a report entitled STRENGTHENING THE CROSSROADS: DRIVING CENTRAL INDIANA'S LOGISTICS INDUSTRY. Within the report's Tactics in Support of Achieving Workforce Development Goals was the stated need in Indiana to increase the number of Class-A CDL drivers to support the state's expanding logistics sector.

Groundbreaking Planned for NTN Plant in Anderson
Officials in Anderson and from Columbus-based NTN Driveshaft Inc. are set to break ground next month on a $130 million manufacturing facility. The investment could involve more than 400 jobs in the Madison County city.

NTN Driveshaft, which is a U.S. subsidiary of Japan-based NTN Corp., has more than 1,500 workers at its operation in Columbus and says it has run out of space in Bartholomew County.

3 Reasons to Register Your Company with the Indiana Supplier INsight Database
Indiana Supplier INsight is a valuable database tool, and it is an integral part of the effort of Conexus Indiana to promote and support advanced manufacturing and logistics throughout the state. Of the many reasons to ensure your company is in the database, I believe these are the top 3:

1. Get noticed! Conexus Indiana regularly receives requests for supplier listings from various entities like IEDC, OEM's, Tier-1's, etc. You can't get on a list if you're not registered.

2. Invitations to matchmaking events. Last year, we facilitated over 125 supplier matchmaking meetings. Invitations were sent to companies found using Indiana Supplier INsight.

3. Receive notifications of procurement opportunities. This past quarter, there were over 130 procurement opportunities posted to Indiana Supplier INsight. Only companies who register receive notifications.
