School districts, community colleges, universities, regional offices of education, state education agencies, and civic groups participate in NIU partnership activities.
Local governments and other organizations work with NIU to deliver training to employees and the public, survey opinion on local needs, and conduct strategic studies on growth and future enrollments.
Meeting the challenges of changes in the workplace and in the marketplace often means training and retraining. NIU works with large and small companies throughout the region to customize education and training.
