Indiana Colleges and Universities: Career Training & Education

Published: November, 2010

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries are booming in Indiana, where the most profitable companies in the state are leaders in their respective fields. Wellpoint and Eli Lilly, both located in Indianapolis, provide financially rewarding careers for employees with the right education. The city of Warsaw, Indiana serves as the headquarters for medical supplier Biomet.

Because the healthcare industry is expected to grow in the coming years, healthcare careers across Indiana should see continued prosperity. Salary.com reports that dental hygienists in Indianapolis, Indiana earn $60,400 on average, while ultrasound technologists earn $59,400. Career training opportunities are available for other growing fields such as engineering, where electrical engineers earn entry-level wages of about $53,900. No career training program can guarantee a salary or career, but hiring managers often prefer or require education in these competitive fields.

Business in Indiana goes beyond the lucrative healthcare industry. Financial, utilities, metals, and industrial equipment companies thrive across the state and a number of Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in the state, including:
  • Cummins
  • NiSource
  • Conseco
  • Zimmer Holdings

Entrepreneurs in Indiana benefit from groups like the Indiana Small Business Development Center, where resources such as research, tax law information, and consulting services are available to small business owners. Individuals interested in starting a business should consider career training in entrepreneurship, which offers an education in business fundamentals.
