The purpose of this grant is to encourage and support schools as they work to embed into their curriculum the three Indiana Employability Skills highlighted within the Indiana Graduates Prepared to Success (Indiana GPS) framework: communication, collaboration and work ethic. This includes supporting opportunities to implement these skills throughout the K-12 continuum and designing competency-based platforms, badges and/or micro-credentials that assess student readiness in communication, collaboration, and work ethic using the standards of the Indiana Employability Skills.

Primary goals of the grant:
- Schools, in partnership with external stakeholders, will develop programming to measure student readiness and proficiency in the skills of communication, collaboration and work ethic.
