Welcome to WIRED
First things first, WIRED is an acronym for Workforce Innovations in Regional Economic Development. We call our initiative Indiana WIRED but technically, our primary focus is a fourteen county region in sort-of-North/sort-of-Central/sort-of-West Indiana.
See why we went with Indiana WIRED? The backstory is that this whole WIRED thing is a grand experiment to re-invent the way we do economic development and workforce development, and basically transform regional economies. No small task! WIRED is enabling us to think in new and different ways about how we (ourselves, our kids, our businesses, our institutions, and our communities) get and keep the competitive edge in today's global economy.
Welcome to our website. We want this to be a place where you can learn about what we're doing, how you can get involved, or how you can build on these ideas and start the transformation in your own part of the world.
