Seven recent graduates of our career readiness training course You don’t need a four-year degree to build a meaningful healthcare career in Indianapolis. A lot of people walk through the doors of the Mosaic Center for Work, Life and Learning thinking they need a job fast. Career Coaching Starts at Orientation Before anything else, you’ll meet our Mosaic Center coaches at Orientation. Because the Mosaic Center is powered by IU Health, coaches evaluate candidates against actual IU Health hiring standards. An Earn-to-Learn Bridge, Built for Real Life When a coach sees potential in a candidate who isn’t quite recruiter-ready yet, they extend an invitation to join Career Readiness Training, a three-week paid earn-to-learn program designed to close the gap. "No matter what you're going through personally, you have to learn how to leave that at the door and show up fully for the people around you." Your Coach Doesn’t Disappear After You’re Hired What makes the Mosaic Center different from a typical job training program is what happens after. Everyone starts with a brief Orientation Session, to meet our coaches and see if the program is a fit for your life and your career goals.

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.
