RPAS Training Growth Northwest College received HLC approval to offer a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Technician Certificate beginning fall 2026, signaling a strategic expansion into drone education. This creates opportunities for drone hardware vendors, simulation software providers, curriculum developers, and industry partners seeking certified training programs.
Regional Partnerships With outreach centers in Cody and Worland and a BOCES partnership with Big Horn County School District No. 2, the college is well positioned to expand regional workforce development and dual enrollment initiatives. This presents sales prospects for online learning platforms, credentialing programs, and employer-sponsored training services in northern Wyoming.
Tech & Enrollment The campus relies on Ellucian, WordPress and social media tools to drive enrollment, engagement, and communications. Opportunities exist to offer enrollment optimization, data analytics, CRM/ERP modernization, cybersecurity, and integrated marketing technology to support student recruitment and retention.
Growth & Programs Launching an Associate of Science in Software Development demonstrates a commitment to expanding STEM and tech-enabled programs. Potential sales include software development curricula, lab equipment, cloud services, and industry partnerships for internships and capstone projects.
Community & Finances Northwest College operates with revenue in the 10โ25 million range and actively engages with the local community, including partnerships with the Loaves & Fishes food pantry. This creates opportunities for donor management, fundraising analytics, grant management, and cost-saving IT solutions to boost efficiency and impact.
