Indianapolis, Indiana
Workforce development institute providing funded career training to people facing barriers to employment.
Founded by Elizabeth Greene · Founder & CEO
Elevate for Humanity is a workforce development institute based in Indianapolis, Indiana. We provide funded career training to people who need it most — justice-involved individuals, low-income families, veterans, dislocated workers, individuals with disabilities, and anyone facing barriers to employment.
We are operated by 2Exclusive LLC-S in partnership with Rise Forward Foundation. Founded in 2019 by Elizabeth Greene, we have grown from a single training program into a structured career pathway system covering healthcare, skilled trades, CDL trucking, technology, and barbering.
Many of our programs are available at no cost to eligible participants through WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), the Workforce Ready Grant, and Eligibility is determined through Indiana WorkOne career centers. We assist with the screening and paperwork — participants focus on training.
To create pathways out of poverty and into prosperity by connecting justice-involved individuals, low-income families, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and anyone facing barriers to employment with high-quality, funded career training, individualized employment support, and direct employer placement.
We run certification programs in healthcare (CNA, Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy), skilled trades (HVAC, Electrical, Welding, Plumbing), CDL trucking (Class A and B), IT and cybersecurity (Certiport IT Specialist, Cisco CCST), barbering (DOL Registered Apprenticeship), and CPR/First Aid. Most programs run 4 to 16 weeks and include hands-on training, certification exam preparation, and job placement assistance.

Most people do not know they may qualify for funded training. We walk every participant through the eligibility process for WIOA (covers tuition, books, supplies, and sometimes transportation and childcare), the Workforce Ready Grant (covers high-demand certifications regardless of income). We handle the paperwork with WorkOne and DWD.

Career counseling, case management, and advising available virtually and in-person by appointment.

Training sites by program: Barber and cosmetology apprentices train at licensed partner barbershops. Healthcare students complete clinicals at partner medical facilities. CDL students train at partner driving schools. Skilled trades apprentices work at employer worksites. IT and business programs are delivered online with instructor oversight and scheduled progress reviews.
