GREEN BELT
The SixSigmaIndy is a Six Sigma Leadership and Training program designed to upskill Black women in the Indianapolis community with strategies and tools for critical thinking and complex problem-solving. Each program cohort includes training and certification provided by a local university.
The SixSigmaIndy program includes a combination of instructional and project time. The instructional part of the initiative includes five full days of training, followed by five months for the completion of a community-based project focused on equity gaps. The value of Six Sigma Training is normally $5000, but thanks to our partner sponsorships, the tuition will be reduced.
Cohort 5 applications are available February 17 - 21, 2025 midnight. Apply early. The first 50 applications will be reviewed and given top priority due to the lengthy waitlist.
