Leaders break ground on education facility

Officials broke ground today on Amplify Hancock, a career and vocational training center coming to Hancock County.

The facility will be at the northwest corner of CR 200W and CR 300N, where it will accommodate training and educational needs for employers, schools, and adult learners. Slated to open in July 2026, it will initially span about 95,000 square feet and is expected to grow throughout its future.

Hancock County’s four school corporations are involved in Amplify Hancock, and will bring their workforce training curriculums for high school students to the facility as a part of the new Hancock County Career Center (HC3). Ivy Tech Community College will provide career education to high school students there as well.

Amplify Hancock will also offer adult education, with possibilities spanning from interesting curriculum to degree and certificate programs.

Additionally, employers will have a presence at the facility for equipping their employees with the skills they’ll need to succeed.

Programming is envisioned to include radiology, aviation, welding, and career development, among others.

Friday’s festivities marked the second ground-breaking in Hancock County for the week, with the first being for a conference center and dual-brand hotel in Hancock Gateway Park. Both are prime examples of all the opportunity in Indiana’s fastest growing county.
