COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) - Ivy Tech Community College is receiving international attention.

An executive from Ivy Tech Community College's Columbus campus traveled to China recently and solidified several relationships with colleges that will help produce a skilled workforce.

Sue Smith, corporate executive for advanced manufacturing with Ivy Tech Community College, traveled to China in late October.

Smith and a group of Columbus delegates wanted to build relationships and explore business opportunities.

However, Ivy Tech also reached an agreement with Huzhou Vocational and Technical College to host and train its faculty, Smith said.

Smith says Ivy Tech is finalizing the same type of agreement with another college. The name of that college has not yet been released.

Ivy Tech, especially at its Columbus campus, is working to develop standardized training for standardized work for manufacturing companies, so workers in the United States and abroad have the same necessary skills, our partners at the Republic report.
