Ivy Tech has over 6,300 employees; about half of those are full-time.

INDIANAPOLIS - For the second year, Ivy Tech Community College was named in the annual Forbes America’s Best State Employers.

Along with market research company Statista, Forbes’ rankings identify the companies positively rated by their employees on a variety of criteria, including the safety of work environment, fairness of compensation, opportunities for advancement, openness to telecommuting, and likelihood to recommend their employer to others. The final list ranks the 1,392 employers that received the greatest number of recommendations in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Indiana’s list includes 73 employers, but only six institutions of higher education. Only seven community colleges nationally made the list.

“I am pleased that Ivy Tech has been recognized by Forbes for the second straight year,” Dr. Sue Ellspermann, Ivy Tech President said. “We understand our colleagues are our ambassadors to the communities we serve with their incredible commitment to student success and the mission of the college. We continue to focus on making Ivy Tech a great place to work to attract the best and brightest.”
