Strategic Partnerships Pima County JTED already collaborates with multiple employers and industry groups (12 business leaders on advisory boards and 15 committees) and is actively seeking partnerships with mining and healthcare employers. This presents opportunities to position specialized training programs, industry certifications, and internship pipelines for prospective corporate partners.

Expansion Footprint With 13,462 students across 36 high schools and nine central campuses over a large 10,000+ square mile area, there is significant opportunity to scale program sponsorships, equipment donations, and customized training modules for districts outside the core footprint.

Healthcare & Tech Demand Recent grand opening of the Mel & Enid Zuckerman Center for Health and Medical Careers and ongoing partnerships with Banner Health indicate strong demand in healthcare career pathways. There is also room to expand drone, pharmacy tech, and other tech-enabled programs to align with workforce needs.

Public Sector & Funding Revenue size places Pima JTED as a mid-to-large educational program with potential for public-private funding, grants, and sponsorships. Engaging sponsors for facilities expansion, land development, and equipment upgrades (e.g., through land acquisitions or campus enhancements) could unlock co-investment opportunities.

Technology Enablement Existing tech stack (Google Workspace, iCIMS, The Trade Desk, analytics tools) suggests readiness for data-driven partnerships, digital credentialing, and targeted outreach. Opportunities exist to offer scalable training platforms, certification prep, and industry-aligned digital learning solutions to improve enrollment, outcomes, and employer engagement.
