State’s list of ‘hot jobs’ includes UIndy specialties

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development has released its annual “Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs” ranking, and as in previous years, several careers on the list correspond with the University of Indianapolis’ flagship academic programs in health care and education.

Physical therapists are No. 5 on the list, which reflects such factors as earnings, job availability and projected industry growth. UIndy’s Krannert School of Physical Therapy produces more physical therapists than any institution in Indiana. Also in the state’s Top 10 are registered nurses and medical and healthcare managers.

Other UIndy-related occupations in the “Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs” include occupational therapists, licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses.
