Two Indianapolis-based organizations are teaming up to lure former Hoosiers back home with high-paying jobs. TMAP and Tech Point hope their efforts will stop the tide of qualified tech workers leaving the state.

The two companies say they’ll offer a fast track to employment for high-paying jobs in Indiana startups that have been hard to fill.

The founder of TMAP, Bill Oesterle, says they’ll work with TechPoint to understand the needs of companies and pair them with former Hoosiers who have the skills to match those needs.

"So now, it becomes company specific recruiting all the way down to – I have a job that's open, I have a candidate that's ready to go," he says.

A Brookings Institute study noted that Indianapolis has one of the nation’s fastest growing technology sectors, adding 5,000 new jobs between 2013 and 2015.

GOP US Rep. Spartz, of Indiana, charged with bringing gun through airport security, officials say

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security. Airport officials said Monday she was charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
