WHY PARTNER WITH ETA
Your students need more than a degree to stand out.
Employers hiring operations and supply chain graduates consistently report the same gap: candidates understand theory but can’t apply it to real problems. ETA’s partnership programs close that gap with documented, real-world outcomes built into the curriculum.
Built around employer demand
Curriculum designed in direct response to what manufacturing and operations leaders actually hire for — not what worked 10 years ago.
Real outcomes, not simulations
Students complete documented improvement projects — not case studies. Employers see the work. The impact is measurable before graduation.
Credential that travels
LSS certification is one of the few credentials that directly signals operational value to hiring managers — from day one on the job.
WHAT YOUR PROGRAM GETS
Three outcomes every partner shares.
01
Employer-aligned curriculum
Built around what manufacturing and operations employers actually hire for. Updated continuously based on direct employer input — not annual curriculum reviews. Your students learn what the market is paying for right now.
02
Real-world project outcomes
Students work on documented improvement projects — not simulations. By graduation, each student has a portfolio of measurable results that employers can verify. The difference between learning LSS and saving $40K using LSS.
03
Flexible partnership models
Workforce Six Sigma Pathways or Continuing Education partnerships — structured to fit your program’s existing architecture. We adapt to your semester structure, credit framework, and institutional requirements.
PARTNERSHIP OPTIONS
Two models. One standard of outcomes.
Both models deliver the same standard of results — employer-ready graduates with documented project experience. Structure is flexible.
Workforce Six Sigma Pathway
A structured curriculum pathway embedded within your degree or certificate program. Students earn LSS certification as part of their academic credential — adding market value without extending time-to-degree.
Continuing Education Partnership
A standalone LSS certification track offered through your CE division. Open enrollment, revenue-sharing structure, and ETA handles curriculum delivery — your institution earns the partnership without the overhead.
HOW IT WORKS
From first call to first cohort in three steps
1
Discovery Call
A 30-minute call to understand your program goals, student profile, and institutional structure. We identify which model is the right fit before any proposal is written.
2
Partnership Design
We map the partnership structure to your program — credit framework, semester schedule, branding requirements, and outcome metrics. You review before anything is finalized.
3
First Cohort Launch
ETA handles curriculum delivery, certification administration, and outcome tracking. Your institution focuses on recruitment and advising. We handle the rest.
