Jan 28, 2026
Learn how our Indianapolis-based career center helps people prepare for stable healthcare careers through coaching and support If you’re looking for a new job right now, it’s easy to feel pressured to take the first thing that comes along. The Mosaic Center helps people take that first step in a way that makes sense for their lives right now. The Challenge Many People Face Many people come to the Mosaic Center when they are: Between jobs Looking for something more reliable Tired of work that doesn’t lead anywhere Healthcare can offer long-term stability, but it can also feel confusing at the start. “We help people slow down just enough to build a plan that leads to stability, not just the next paycheck,” says Shadreck Kamwendo, Mosaic Center Director. Coaching can help you: Learn about healthcare job options Understand what training or certification may be needed Identify barriers to success on the job, like transportation or childcare Build confidence before applying for jobs What the Mosaic Center IS (and Is Not) The Mosaic Center is: A starting point for healthcare careers A place for one-on-one career and financial coaching A long-term partner, not a one-time visit Free for eligible members The Mosaic Center is not: A quick hiring event A place that promises instant job placement A shortcut without preparation Healthcare careers reward people who are ready. Who the Mosaic Center Serves The Mosaic Center serves adults in Marion County who are interested in healthcare careers and do not currently hold a four-year degree. Healthcare offers something different: Stable, reliable work Opportunities to learn and grow A career that can support you and your family over time “We’re here to help people see past the next job and build toward something that lasts,” says Mosaic Center Integrated Career Coach Maria Baca Vilchez.

Students split their school day between their home high school and specialized training at Area 31, where programs like pre-nursing give them an early, hands-on introduction to clinical concepts and patient care fundamentals. With support from Mosaic Center’s K-12 Program Lead Matt DeGolyer, nursing hiring leaders and the IU Health HR team, pre-nursing students had the chance to: Practice realistic, one-on-one interview conversations Get real-time feedback on communication, professionalism, and presentation Build confidence in discussing their experiences, skills, and goals This event reflects the Mosaic Center’s ongoing commitment to expand access to healthcare career pathways and support young people at the earliest stages of their journey.
