How We Support Partnerships

Elizabethtown College is committed to being a driver for statewide economic growth by helping organizations invest in their most valuable asset: their people. Across all of our schools and programs — including the School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS) — we are working to enhance curriculum in collaboration with our partners.

Workforce Development

We support the growth of your workforce by offering tuition reimbursement or discounted tuition for employees pursuing degrees, certificates, or micro-credentials. Our stackable credential pathways empower employees to upskill, advance, and strengthen your organization from within.

Customized Educational Programs

We collaborate with partners to design academic programs tailored to their future workforce needs. From specialized courses to full program pipelines, we align our educational offerings with the skills and knowledge your organization needs to thrive.

Campus & Community Connections

We serve as a bridge between the College and the community — connecting businesses, nonprofits, and campus partners to meaningful collaborations. Whether through events, programs, or partnerships, we help build strong relationships that create lasting value for all.
