BVU, Midwest Industries Link Via Strategic Partnership
Through a Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University, Midwest Industries, of Ida Grove, offers educational benefits to its employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and Midwest Industries have joined forces as Strategic Partners to help strengthen their communities and the region.
This partnership allows for employees of Midwest Industries, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost of education while enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost per credit hour for students enrolled in BVU’s convenient online/hybrid undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program.
BVU professors and staff are also available for training programs, workshops, and more should officials with Midwest Industries seek those services and expertise.
“We are excited about our Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University as it provides our employees and their family members a more accessible and affordable pathway toward the goal of obtaining a college education, an accomplishment that, through hard work, enables individuals to better serve their families and their communities,” says Jeff Spotts, Midwest Industries Recruiting Onboarding Manager/Team Leader. “As a regional leader, Midwest Industries is proud to join forces while supporting another leader in Northwest Iowa: Buena Vista University.”
Midwest Industries, which has a workforce of some 300 persons, has expanded by more than 145 employees to meet the demand of production. More than ever before, Midwest Industries is emboldened to pursue the ambitious goal of leading the world to the water. The attributes of unwavering quality and practical innovation are infused with each product manufactured by Midwest Industries.
“We are constantly striving to build high-quality, unique, and innovative products by leveraging our state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution processes for marine enthusiasts,” Spotts says.
“Buena Vista University, a leader in education across Iowa and the Midwest for more than 130 years, is excited to partner with an organization that, like BVU, is known for innovation and diversity while striving to bolster people and their communities,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd. “We are proud to partner with Midwest Industries and offer educational benefits to its employees and their eligible family members.”
