"We are so grateful to Empire State Development for the opportunity to bring Microcredentials related to the Truck and Diesel industry to our region. It has been a fun project for our faculty to develop the credentials with the Center for Online Learning. These microcredentials help us expand our mission of creating opportunities for upward mobility and upskilling for industry partners.”

“We are in a rural area and our students sometimes have trouble with transportation to get to internships and places off campus. After exploring several different options, we are excited to partner with Enterprise. As of today, students can rent cars hourly or daily to get to clinicals, internships, and other things off campus. We are excited about this partnership.”
