EmployIndy goes from monthly in-person trainings to a full Learning Management System with on-demand courses to serve all of Marion County
In June 2019, EmployIndy and Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana formally partnered with 220 on a project called Learning Management System Youth Coaching Curriculum and Content Development. They requested a partner to build out a Learning Management System (LMS) in order to increase the number of coaches equipped to assist young adults in achieving their education and career goals. The scope of the project was focused on Target Impact Areas where residents were most affected by poverty and unemployment. After the initial project scope was completed in 2019, EmployIndy contracted 220 to continue the LMS buildout through the end of 2020, working to complete the following key activities:
- Hold a citywide key stakeholder feedback session to understand user questions, suggested platform improvements, and how to best leverage the platform for maximum usage
- Create banners, course cards, graphics, and other visual enhancements
- Develop additional videos, course content, and backend data to support participating organizations
- Connect the Learning Management System with EmployIndy’s existing Intranet to streamline user engagement and clarify how to use both systems
- Build 18 additional training videos to support the Youth Employment Services ETO platform
- Present key findings and updates to Senior Leadership team to better align organizational initiatives with LMS and Intranet progress
- Adapt the in-person curriculum from the Job Ready Indy lesson plans into a robust, asynchronous online course
- Develop marketing and communication tools to build awareness for all Learning Management System courses and resources
Before: All Career Coach Training In-Person and 1x/month
After: On-Demand County-wide LMS with hours of content for Career Coaches
Timeframe: 12 months
Matthew – Really appreciate your leadership, technical guidance and expertise to not only help call out questions we didn’t know we should be asking, to get a quality product for users, but for your administrative and project management skills as well which proved invaluable towards keeping this project on task, schedule and within budget. Thanks again, Rodney”
Rodney Francis, Chief Programs Officer EmployIndy
“WOW – it seems like just last week we connected 220 and the YES Indy team to build out this set of courses for the network but in reality I know it has been a thoughtfully orchestrated and executed project for many, many months. Congratulations, team, for getting this over the finish line! The expansion and improvements to the Learning Hub over the past year have been nothing short of remarkable!”
