Indiana Work-Based Learning

Indiana's Youth Workforce Revolution Starts Here.

New state diploma mandates require Work-Based Learning — but most employers aren't equipped to navigate the liability, paperwork, and compliance. InternCrew is the bridge that makes it work for everyone.

The Challenge & Our Answer
Indiana HB 1243 — Active 2025+

The Mandate Is Real. The Friction Is Too.

Indiana's new diploma framework (HB 1243) now requires students to complete Work-Based Learning experiences to earn graduation readiness seals. Schools are scrambling. Employers want to help — but the moment they ask about hiring a high-school student, the conversation stalls: Who's responsible if something goes wrong? Who handles payroll taxes? What about workers' comp? The result: amazing opportunities never happen.

  • Who's liable if a student is injured on-site?
  • How do we handle payroll taxes for a minor?
  • What about workers' comp and insurance?
  • Too much paperwork for a single semester.
Employer of Record — We Carry the Risk

One Partner. Zero Risk. Total Turnkey.

InternCrew serves as the sole Employer of Record (EOR) for every intern placement. That means every student is legally our employee — not yours. You get dedicated, motivated young talent without a single shred of co-employment risk, compliance obligation, or administrative burden. We handle everything so you can focus on what you do best.

  • All payroll, taxes, and insurance — handled.
  • Workers' comp and liability — ours, not yours.
  • EARN Indiana grant management — maximized.
  • Student onboarding and compliance — done.
