Wyoming Community Colleges Annual Partnership Report, 2022

The "Annual Partnership Report" catalogs partnerships that Wyoming community colleges established and maintained for each fiscal year. This partnership report fulfills statutory reporting requirement W.S. 21-18-202(e)(iv) which mandates the development of annual reports to the legislature on the outcomes of partnerships between colleges and the University of Wyoming and other entities. Each community college partner maintains numerous partnerships for the development and provision of academic, occupational-technical, workforce development, and enrichment educational programs. These partnerships are essential for colleges to meet higher educational needs of Wyoming's citizens and communities. Eight public Wyoming community colleges provided information for ten of their major partnerships during academic year 2021-2022. The eight colleges included: Casper College, Central Wyoming College, Eastern Wyoming College, Laramie County Community College, Northern Wyoming Community College, Northwest College, Sheridan College, and Western Wyoming Community College. The partnerships were divided into three partnering categories as follows: (1) Educational (P-12 Education, University of Wyoming and Other Higher Education); (2) Community Participation (Community Organizations, Cultural, Human Services, Non-Profit Organizations, and Professional Organizations); and (3) Regional Development (Business and Industry, Economic Development, Workforce Training, and Government--Local, State, Federal).
