Your facility.
Our network.
Ironside does not build greenfield campuses. We co-locate at community colleges, HBCUs, HSIs, and vocational schools — bringing a shared credential, a shared demand signal, and a pipeline of employer partners to facilities that already exist.
What co-location looks like.
Shared facilities.
Ironside programs run inside your existing CTE-capable labs, workshops, and classrooms.
Dual-enrollment.
Students earn college credit alongside the Ironside credential wherever articulation agreements allow.
Instructor support.
We bring industry-certified instructors, curriculum, and equipment; you bring the students and the accreditation.
Employer pipeline.
Your graduates connect directly to hyperscaler, utility, fab, and contractor hiring pipelines.
Public funding stacking.
We help coordinate WIOA, Pell, GI Bill, state workforce grants, and employer co-funding.
No competing credential.
We honor your existing certificates and degrees. Ironside adds a portable industry layer, not a replacement.
Who we work with.
Community colleges.
CTE programs with existing electrical, HVAC, or IT infrastructure capacity.
