Utilizing Strategic Partnerships for Workforce Development and Community Impact
Abstract
Peirce College in Philadelphia has been committed to finding innovative ways to serve non-traditional learners since 1865. Founded to educate returning Civil War veterans and help them find jobs in the business sector, Peirce has continued this legacy throughout its history. Recently, the College has taken this philosophy to new heights and developed numerous partnerships with organizations throughout the region to directly address community issues, including access to education, digital literacy, financial training, and more. By embracing the idea of partnerships, and focusing our academic lens on how to connect graduates to career pathways, Peirce is developing solutions that will have a positive, sustained impact.
