Elevate for Humanity Career & Technical Institute is a DOL Registered Apprenticeship Sponsor, Indiana ETPL-listed workforce training provider, and Certiport Authorized Testing Center operating under 2Exclusive LLC-S. Industry certifications are issued by the respective credentialing bodies (CompTIA, NHA, EPA, NCCCO, etc.) upon passing the required exams — these are the same credentials employers hire for. Training may be fully funded for eligible participants through WIOA, Workforce Ready Grant, JRI, and approved workforce partners; eligibility is determined by the applicable agency. Elevate for Humanity Career & Technical Institute is a workforce training organization, not a degree-granting postsecondary institution under the Indiana Department of Education — our programs lead to industry certifications and employment, not academic degrees.

  • • Extra hands during busy hours
  • • Pre-screened, committed learners
  • • Potential future employees

Zero Paperwork for You

We handle all the administrative burden. Hour tracking, state compliance, curriculum delivery, and completion documentation - that's our job, not yours.

  • • Digital hour tracking system
  • • State board compliance handled
  • • Simple attendance verification
