As a former student I would like to just say I felt at home at Central Nine Career Center. You have…read morestudents coming in from 9 schools hence the name. Well let's get to the good parts, there are a good variety of programs from law enforcement to landscape, business, computer graphics, dental, medical, forensics, mechanics and culinary just to name a few. The cafeteria is student ran by the culinary department, grounds are maintained by the landscape department, school nurse is ran by the medical department. So this tech school is pretty much self sufficient students will get a lot of real hands on experience and guest speakers and not just learning from a text book and videos there actually putting the skills and knowledge into practice here. Your student will learn from instructors that have been in or are still in there respective lines of work so you can be sure they know what they are talking about. Rarely do the students just sit and read from a book or do worksheets. My only complaint would be if former head of special education has any kind of authority there still. As she had a habit of giving away answers and or getting on students who she deemed to be lazy or weren't meeting her impossibly high expectations and would go out of her way to interrupt students in there classes to criticize them. She would also gleefully point out to parents of the student anything they did wrong. I sincerely hope this woman doesn't have any influence here still. Any former student you ask that ever had a test read could vouch to the fact that she blatantly did give out obvious clues that made it impossible to get a wrong answer. Except for when she gave the about a dozen students the wrong answer to a question and wouldn't let us leave until we wrote down the incorrect answer.

Erskine-Green Training Institute was founded by the Arc of Indiana Foundation in 2016 as a "first…read moreof its kind" postsecondary vocational training program that specifically targets serving individuals whose academic, social, communication, and adaptive skills are affected due to a disability. Housed inside Muncie's Courtyard by Marriott on High Street, which is also owned by Arc of Indiana Foundation and managed by General Hotels Corporation, Erskine-Green Training Institute is named after two esteemed Hoosiers - Carl Erskine and Steve Green - both of whom have had their lives significantly impacted by disability and who've spent much of their lives advocating for people with disabilities. Erskine-Green offers 10-13 week programs in specific fields including hospitality, food service, healthcare, and inventory distribution. The programs aim to offer individuals with disabilities tangible job skills that will allow them to enter market-wage jobs in integrated community settings. At the three year mark, their success rate is between 80-85% in terms of those who've graduated from an Erskine-Green program actually finding jobs in their fields of choice. In other words, Erskine-Green is groundbreaking and it's changing the lives of people with disabilities for the better. The vast majority of students who attend Erskine-Green actually live within the Courtyard by Marriott during their 10-13 week training program. This provides the feeling of a "campus" and allows them to gain natural supports while also growing independent living skills. The community has embraced the program, with Ball State University serving as a resource for part-time employees who provide support, mentoring, and serve in other capacities. Ball State also provides other resources of support. IU Health has proven to be a strong corporate supporter and IU Health - Ball Memorial is a training site as is the Courtyard by Marriott and the 625 TapHouse located inside the hotel. In the program's early days, Scott Wise and Thr3e Wisemen Brewery was also a strong supporter. While I didn't attend Erskine-Green, I've been a supporter from its beginning and if you ever visit the Courtyard by Marriott you can find my name on the hotel's donor wall as someone who has done two fundraising events for the program. Funding for the program comes largely from Vocational Rehabilitation, though other funding sources exist including grants, self-pay, and both state/federal funds. I myself started a scholarship program at Erskine-Green. Entrance into Erskine-Green is not "automatic." You do have to have a certain degree of independent living skills, for example being able to handle or arrange for the handling of personal care, but other skills, like learning how to utilize public transportation, are taught within the framework of the program. Erskine-Green Training Institute has been so successful that plans are already underway to open a second campus in Evansville. Erskine-Green celebrates its alumni and maintains contact, though job placement is largely up to Vocational Rehabilitation counselors, job coaches, or an individual's support team. As part of the program, however, the students are taught both resume creation and interview skills. Erskine-Green offers career sampling sessions several times throughout the year and monthly general tours. As a working adult with a disability, Erskine-Green excites me because it's a quality program with a terrific staff and is empowering individuals with a disability to live up to their dreams and their highest potential. I've spoken at the school a couple times and I've been constantly impressed by teachers, leadership, students, volunteers, and everyone involved. The results speak for themselves and it's exciting to watch people realize they can truly chase their dreams. Erskine-Green continues to be one of Indiana's best kept secrets with a reputation that is growing that ensures the school won't be a secret much longer.

Nope. When a business obfuscates access to itself do yourself a favor and recognize the red flag. I…read morehad high hopes as there are few options for Aircraft Maintenance in the Metro Indy area. I contacted AIM and no less than 4 separate text numbers contacted me about scheduling a "visit" and career planning session. I don't need a visit or career planning anything. I had to miss the first session due to the joy of the flu. It happens. I tried calling the main number, campus number and number(s) that had texted me. No contact with a human and the representative who called a few days later said they were never informed. I did leave messages. Red flag. A few days later a different person contacts me from the now 6th different number saying there's an Open House and would I like to come since I just asked for information. Flag, flag. That's three strikes and here's your used car salespeople sticker. It felt like that. Their own information on their website on "How to Apply" lists the actual application as second to last after the high pressure sales presentation and financial aid discussion. Which means BS hype and then push hard for loans to fill any gaps. In short. Admissions over all else and after just cursory digging there are plenty of reviews and why not to go to any of their campus's. Go to Vincennes or Ivy Tech in Ft. Wayne or Purdue of anywhere else but this train wreck.

I switched to AIM from Vincennes because of their reputation. My dad is an A&P Mechanic and he…read moresaid that his company almost exclusively hires from AIM and will NOT hire from Vincennes. He tried to get me to go to AIM in the beginning, but I only looked at the price. There is definitley some truth to you get what you pay for. The staff and faculty are top notch and from the second you walk in the door you can tell how much the people there actually care.
