Expansion Opportunity Stark State College is actively expanding its footprint with new campuses and partnerships, including Akron expansion and the Scale-M consortium leadership. This presents a sales window for solutions that support multi-campus management, blended learning delivery, and regional workforce program coordination.

Workforce Collaboration Strategic Coordination for Advanced Learning and Employment in Manufacturing (Scale-M) involves collaboration with multiple Ohio colleges and the OACC. There is a clear need for scalable manufacturing education technology, student support platforms, and industry-aligned credentialing tools.

Digital Engagement Current tech stack highlights usage of marketing and analytics tools (Amazon Advertising, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Microsoft Clarity, Siteimprove). Opportunities exist to upsell enhanced analytics, personalized student journeys, and digital advertising optimization solutions tailored to higher education.

Student Success Improvements in course completion, retention, and a three-year graduation rate of 31% indicate a favorable climate for student success platforms, tutoring networks, and data-driven advising solutions that can bolster outcomes and retention.

Regional Partnerships Active partnerships with Lorain County Community College, Owens Community College, and the OACC position Stark State as a hub for shared services, workforce development programs, and grant-enabled technology or LMS integrations that scale across districts.
