For educators

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.

§01
What co-location looks like

What co-location looks like.

// 01

Shared facilities.

Ironside programs run inside your existing CTE-capable labs, workshops, and classrooms.

// 02

Dual-enrollment.

Students earn college credit alongside the Ironside credential wherever articulation agreements allow.

// 03

Instructor support.

We bring industry-certified instructors, curriculum, and equipment; you bring the students and the accreditation.

// 04

Employer pipeline.

Your graduates connect directly to hyperscaler, utility, fab, and contractor hiring pipelines.

// 05

Public funding stacking.

We help coordinate WIOA, Pell, GI Bill, state workforce grants, and employer co-funding.

// 06

No competing credential.

We honor your existing certificates and degrees. Ironside adds a portable industry layer, not a replacement.

§02
Who we work with

Registered trade schools.

Private trade schools with DOL-registered programs and strong employer ties.
