Indiana’s facing a new twist on an old problem: finding enough skilled workers to fill available jobs.

Governor Holcomb says part of the solution lies in making people aware of new opportunities.

He describes the state as a “concierge” for new businesses setting up shop, working through groups like university alumni associations to match businesses’ needs with workers who can fit them.

He says the READI regional economic development fund created last year allows a more regional focus.
