Developed by Indiana Tech’s Career Center to produce career-ready graduates, Get Equipped provides our students a variety of experiences to gain the skills needed to enter the job market with confidence.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Get Equipped 2021 will look a little different, but students will still be able to hear, firsthand, from area employers who hire our students as interns. Employer trainings will be virtual, and students will have opportunities to practice important skills both virtually and in person.

We will ask all students in our traditional day program to be tested for COVID-19 72 hours before they return to campus or before they attend their first class this spring. We will ask students to provide a copy of their negative test report using an online form. All returning international students who traveled abroad and all spring semester athletes returning to campus early will be also tested for COVID as a part of their return-to-campus protocol. Coaches and international student advisors will be in touch with these students with additional information. If a student is unable to be tested before arriving on campus, we will ask the student to quarantine until they can be tested at our on-campus clinic during the first week of classes. More details on testing and submitting results will be sent to all students by e-mail in early January and posted online at indianatech.edu/coronavirus.

In January, all traditional students will have the opportunity to declare whether they intend to attend all classes in person or remotely during the spring semester. Students selecting the remote option will be expected to attend their classes online all semester and do so during scheduled class times. In-person students will be permitted to attend remotely only when they are in quarantine or when Student Affairs has been notified that they are sick. All students will receive communications about the process for selecting in-person or remote attendance starting the week of Jan. 4.

Final thoughts from a fellow mom

With Christmas upon us, Karl and I will be thrilled to have our sons back in Fort Wayne. Our oldest son, Nicholas, will actually arrive Christmas Day since he has to work on Christmas Eve.  Below is a picture of us taken early in 2020 when we were still going out and not wearing masks. From our family to yours, we wish you all the blessings of the holiday season and a happy and healthy new year!
