Creating college- and community-wide impact through purposeful partnerships, strategic collaboration, and joint accountability
Broward College offers a variety of partnership opportunities aimed at jointly leveraging collective expertise, resources, and specialized services, to effectively meet college and community needs.
Through a data-informed, metric-driven approach, the Partnership Impact department is dedicated to cultivating, supporting, and stewarding Broward College and community partnerships aligned to the college's Social Enterprise Plan.
Together, through post-secondary education and the wealth of opportunity that exists in community-wide collaboration, we can and will transform students' lives and holistically enrich Broward County.
We understand that education far exceeds the boundaries of the classroom and are committed to supporting the development of the whole individual. Accordingly, Broward College has a rich history of collaboration with non-profit and community agencies to increase post-secondary access and enhance credential completion through programmatic alignment and shared resources.
Community Agency Resource and Program Partners work alongside Broward College to support a continuum of collaboration strategies impacting post-secondary access, student support, community engagement and outreach, and employment solutions.
Non-profit agencies proximate to Broward UP Communities have the opportunity to jointly impact residents in geographics areas with disproportionate unemployment and educational attainment rates to make collective impact through Broward College’s expanded service model, Broward UP.

This will be accomplished in collaboration with corporate partners. Together, we will connect residents, students, and employers early in the process, providing ample time to train, refine, and engage candidates through mutually beneficial full- and part-time internship, apprenticeship, and employment opportunities.

Broward College is committed to developing individuals and strengthening communities through expanded access to higher learning and resources across the county. Thus, we aim to “Lift Every City” through post-secondary enrollment and attainment and have incorporated this into the college’s Social Enterprise Plan.
The purpose of the Lift Every City tactic is to enhance the economic mobility of Broward County residents by expanding access to Broward College programs and resources through partnerships and jointly assessed community-wide strategic points of collaboration.
Through a data-informed, metric-driven approach, we aim to partner with all Broward County municipalities to offer highly customizable strategies to increase their Broward College enrollment and credential attainment rates.

Broward UP increases access to post-secondary education and training. This innovative community- centric approach is expanding Broward College's service model and strengthening partnerships to deliver workforce education courses and programs, along with career readiness and related support services, in areas most affected by economic immobility. These are the communities in which the greatest impact can be made.
As part of this community collaborative, the college is leveraging its assets and relationships to operationalize a bedrock ideal of Broward College's existence – every resident should be empowered and enabled to pursue post-secondary education.
This expanded service model focuses on Broward County zip codes with disproportionately high unemployment rates and low education attainment. The first phase of work focused on six zip codes, representing 12 of the 31 municipalities across the county. It has now expanded to include an additional five zip codes, further saturating areas of need in existing partner cities, and adding two additional municipalities.
Broward UP municipal and community agency partners are invited to activate various collaboration items from their MOU's scope of work by submitting a MOU Activation Request. Once submitted, a college representative will be in touch shortly to discuss the opportunity.
Broward UP municipal and community agency partners are invited to request Broward UP Information Sessions, Workshops, and Workforce Training Courses for online and/or on-site delivery. We kindly request at least a two-week lead time for Information Session and Workshop requests. Semesterly deadlines apply for course requests.
Broward UP municipal and community agency partners are asked to please submit a Partnership Report at the conclusion of each academic term (fall, spring, and summer). Once submitted, a college representative will schedule a meeting to debrief and co-create the experience for the semester ahead.
