"We are excited to welcome our newest partners to our network. These companies and organizations share our commitment to innovation, workforce development, and preparing students to be Better Than Ready® for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow's economy."

The University's Corporate Partnership Program offers organizations a streamlined way to engage across multiple areas of collaboration, including:

The newest corporate partners join a growing network that includes industry leaders from the manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, consulting, technology, and business services sectors. Together, these partnerships help create real-world learning experiences for students while providing employers with access to emerging talent and university resources.

The expansion of the Corporate Partnership Program is an important component of The Elevation Center's "One Front Door" approach, which provides industry partners a single point of access to the full capabilities of the University of New Haven. Through this model, companies can engage with students, faculty, centers of excellence, workforce initiatives, applied research teams, and innovation programs through one coordinated relationship.

“As the University prepares for the opening of The Elevation Center in 2027, the continued growth of the Corporate Partnership Program reflects increasing employer interest in collaborating with higher education to solve business challenges, develop talent, and drive innovation,” added Lavoie.
