Strategic partnerships The college is actively engaging with local school districts and health facilities, evidenced by a nearly $5M grant collaboration with USD 258 and the Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center/Ashley Clinic, indicating ripe opportunities for education-to-workforce partnerships and sponsored training programs.

Workforce development Recent grants and new hires in finance, government relations, and grant administration point to a growing emphasis on workforce training, apprenticeships, and external funding—opening potential for sponsored programs, curriculum alignment with regional employers, and paid internship pipelines.
