IYRS Industry Partner Program
Nearly 80% of IYRS students require scholarships in order to make their IYRS education possible. As with any non-profit institution, our funding is limited. If more scholarship funding were available, we could educate more students who would be trained and eager to enter the marine trades and modern manufacturing workforce.
As an official IYRS Industry Partner, you will have opportunities throughout the year to meet our current students, share information with them about your company including job openings and current projects, reach IYRS’s exceptional alumni who live throughout the United States, and more.
IYRS is grateful for your support as we work to build a bigger, better skilled workforce.
