The Ecker Business Training Center cooperates, collaborates, and partners with many public and private organizations and companies around Howard County to provide special courses, training, and services to county residents.

For example, we work with the Maryland Department of Energy to convene special energy workshops and conventions on the wise use and conservation of energy in residential building and industrial applications.

We also partner with Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc., to provide online courses for Honeywell employees nationwide.

We cooperate with the Maryland Association of Community Colleges via the Maryland Community Colleges' Business Training Network, a statewide database allowing users across Maryland to search for the training they need and the community colleges around the state that provide it.

Just a few of our many other cosponsorship/partnership/cooperation organizations include Lorien Nursing & Rehabilitation Centers, Howard County Economic Development Authority, and Fretz Corporation.

To learn more about cosponsorships or to propose a new one for the Business Training Center, contact Patty Keeton at 410-772-4979 or email her at pkeeton@howardcc.edu.
