Overview - The IPLD Program
A National Industry Pipeline Initiative

The Industry Pipeline Leadership Development Program (IPLD) is a national professional leadership and personal enrichment experience that prepares individuals for technical, professional and personal success in prospective careers.  This is a multi-year pipeline program that recruits, trains and prepares individuals for their steps toward career success from middle school through college.

How Does It Work?

When schools are closed, students participate in various industry field trips and mentoring experiences to help them decide on a career field.  Throughout the year, students receive technical and professional development skills training, scholarship preparation assistance and project-based learning opportunities with industry mentors to adequately prepare them for the workforce and their field of choice. 

Each participant will later connect with employers in our network for internship, externship or job shadowing experiences at our annual career and professional development conference for opportunities around the country over the summer (or work to start a business as an entrepreneur).
