IYRS Industry Partner Program

Each year, approximately 70% 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.

The IYRS Industry Partner program will provide valuable benefits to your company while generating needed scholarship funding for IYRS students. Let's work together to grow the skilled workforce that is so desperately needed while supporting IYRS students who are passionate about working in your industry.
