Description
The coal industry has been a source of good-paying jobs for generations of Hoosiers in Southwest Indiana. Recent trends and the current outlook, however, suggest continued shrinkage in coal-related employment. Vincennes University offers bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, certificates, and training to help individuals affected by the trend transition to alternative employment opportunities.
