Welcome To Indiana
In Indiana, Telamon Corporation is known as Transition Resources Corporation (TRC). This is due to the fact that when Telamon Corporation first came to Indiana, a for-profit firm was already incorporated under the Telamon name. TRC has been the provider of employment and training services to migrant and seasonal farm workers in Indiana since 1987, and more recently has expanded services to high school juniors and seniors in Marion County.

All About the Program
Employer Relationships
TRC provides employment and training services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their dependents through the NFJP, which is part of the Workforce Investment Act. Eligible farmworkers can receive assistance that helps them get through emergency situations, or to upgrade educational or occupational skills that improve employment prospects and self-sufficiency. Our Case Managers are bilingual in English/Spanish, and located in several areas throughout the state. A required partner in the state's provision of Workforce Investment Act services, TRC offices are co-located with various WorkOne centers where both job seekers and employers can request employment related assistance.
Farmworkers seeking to improve their economic future have diverse housing needs which may change over time. TRC assists NFJP eligible farmworkers who need temporary or emergency housing accommodations as a result of migratory agricultural employment opportunities away from their home base. We also provide housing assistance to those farmworkers who choose to relocate to Indiana and need initial assistance obtaining a permanent primary residence in order to take advantage of NFJP employment or training services.
The Indiana AgrAbility Project serves individuals working on farms and other rural residents with disabilities through a collaborative effort between the USDA, Breaking New Ground, and several disability and agriculture related organizations. Transition Resources Corporation distributes program information as part of its outreach and networking efforts. NFJP customers with limiting conditions are also referred to BNG for assistance with work modifications, application to Vocational Rehabilitation, and assistive devices.
