Relationships can be defined in many ways. Kirkwood’s partnerships are a testament to that fact.

Our partnerships engage organizations from four main categories: businesses, community services, government programs and educational institutions. The diversity of our partners and their associated programs demonstrates a commitment to a cohesive, multifaceted network that reduces duplication of programs and fulfills specific needs for workforce and community development. Our partners help us fulfill our mission.

Kirkwood works with all industries to bring mutually beneficial, quality programs to our partners and our college. We develop customized partnerships to meet needs and improve resources and support systems. As you will see in this booklet, partners share a variety of activities and assets with Kirkwood, such as facilities, expertise, technology, scholarships and other resources.

Partnerships through Kirkwood Community College help make Eastern Iowa a great place to learn, live and work. We thank and recognize our key partners for the value they give to Kirkwood and our community. These relationships reinforce our vision to invent, develop and deliver learning solutions for the 21st century, which benefits everyone in Eastern Iowa and beyond.
