A new apprenticeship: ASAP, Ivy Tech, other partners launch program for recovery home managers

The Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress, Ivy Tech Community College and several other partners at the state and local level have launched what officials have described as a first-of-its-kind program seeking to equip recovery residence managers with the skills needed to succeed at supporting those going through recovery.

The program, called the House Manager Apprenticeship Training Program, has been initially funded through a two-year, $500,000 state workforce innovation grant and combines around 2,000 hours of on-the-job training, classroom instruction and a series of online modules through Ivy Tech, officials said. The grant is from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction.
