FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership announced today the launch of Northeast Indiana’s Jobs and Internships Portal.

The website, located at www.neindiana.com/jobs, provides an easy-to-access, comprehensive database of jobs and internships available in Northeast Indiana’s 11 counties to attract and retain talent in the region.

“This portal provides a convenient location for job and internship seekers to find coveted jobs and work-based learning opportunities. This site will be a cornerstone to our future talent attraction and retention strategies to support the needs of regional employers,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership.

Talent looking for opportunities can search for jobs or internships by city, county, zip code, industry or experience level. Users also benefit from customized email alerts, which will send a weekly email to job and internship seekers based on their customized search criteria.

Northeast Indiana’s portal allows users to learn more about the region, too. Users can access:

cost of living calculator;

relocation resources;

quality of life information; and

videos of life in the region.

“The website sells Northeast Indiana as a region experiencing momentum. It tells Northeast Indiana’s unique story. The portal illustrates that Northeast Indiana is a place that people not only want to work, but a place where people can develop roots, engage in the community and send their kids to school,” said Brent Becker, Chief Operating Officer at Pro Resources Staffing Services.

The website supports the region’s business development, talent development and talent attraction strategies. Through a targeted national digital advertising campaign, Northeast Indiana will market the website to attract talent from around the country to live and work in Northeast Indiana.

Regional employers can also post jobs to the website to attract national talent never reached before. The website database is also available to share. With an embeddable widget, collaborating organizations including regional employers, chamber of commerce offices, local economic development organizations (LEDOs) and regional recruiters can add the widget to their website, too.

The Regional Partnership collaborated with state and regional partners including Northeast Indiana Works, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and IndianaINTERN.net on the launch of this website.
