Local Partnerships & Special Programs

Partner with us! Ivy Tech South Bend-Elkhart works with key external partners to leverage new technology, solve distinct manufacturing challenges, and provide work-based learning opportunities. Ivy Tech has long been instrumental in offering workforce education to adult and traditional-age students seeking good jobs. Yet, across sectors, these jobs are changing. The increased use of technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence is altering the skills and the level of mastery these jobs require. 

Ivy Tech South Bend-Elkhart is continuously adapting our programs to changing skill demands and diversifying pathways to degrees and certificates.

To support regional economic development and serve as a valued resource to the communities we serve, our workforce programming focuses on occupational fields undergoing rapid technological innovation — allied health, information technology, and advanced manufacturing — and Pre K-12 education initiatives.
