STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
Pave the Way
to a 4-Year Degree
Taking Credits—and Students—Further.
Trusted by Hundreds of Community Colleges
From Associate’s to Bachelor’s—to Teacher
WGU and Ivy Tech have built a strong, student-centered transfer partnership that opens doors to affordable, flexible bachelor’s degrees. Yet the collaboration runs deeper: when the state of Indiana turned to Ivy Tech for help addressing the teacher shortage, the college selected WGU as its four-year partner of choice.
Our Process
Our consultative, data-driven approach ensures outcomes that scale and evolve with your institution. Here’s how we get there:
Discover: Context Before Content
We start by understanding the big picture—your institutional priorities and cultures, and workforce dynamics. Through diagnostic interviews and workforce analytics, we identify the systemic challenges and friction points standing in the way of student mobility and talent agility.
Align: Mobilize for Execution
We bring the right stakeholders to the table—HR, learning, operations, finance—and build alignment across functions. This is where we validate investment, assign ownership, and remove friction for faster implementation.
Define: Align on the Why
Together, we frame the challenge and align stakeholders around the outcomes that matter—whether it’s meeting institutional goals, improving retention, or building future-ready leaders. This step ensures we’re solving for impact, not symptoms.
Activate: Deliver with Agility
With governance in place, we launch and operationalize. Communication plans, student engagement strategies, and platform integrations are tailored for your students and workforce. We act as both partner and catalyst—ensuring adoption, momentum, and visible wins early on.
Design: Orchestrate the Right Solution
Leveraging market insights and proven frameworks, we co-create a talent solution architecture that fits your ecosystem. From education pathways and capability academies to workforce partnerships and platform design, everything is built for relevance, scale, and speed.
Optimize: Drive Continuous Value
Learning is dynamic, and so is our approach. We track performance, learner engagement, business outcomes, and workforce shifts in real time—making iterative improvements to ensure your solution delivers measurable, enduring value.
