Join the SDI Partner Program

Support student success and grow meaningful industry connections

At Sonoran Desert Institute, our students are learning fundamental skills with a clear goal in mind. They are turning their passion into a profession. They are building experience, investing in tools, and preparing to enter the firearms and uncrewed technology industries. Your company can be part of that journey.

By offering a discount or resource through our Partner Program, your company supports students directly. But this program is more than just a one-time offer.

We are also building long-term partnerships that extend beyond graduation. That can include pathways for SDI alumni to become dealers, opportunities to engage at events, or creating new ways to connect students with the industry.

Why Join?

  • Support a focused, career-driven student community Our students are hands-on learners, committed to growing their skills and preparing for real-world careers. Your support helps make that possible.
  • Build long-term trust When companies support students during their education, it builds lasting relationships that often continue into their professional lives.
  • Connect with a wider network We want to connect our partners with SDI students, graduates, and faculty. This program can lead to future opportunities in dealer development, networking, and collaboration.
  • Contribute to something bigger This program is not about advertising. It is about working with like-minded companies who believe in skill development and want to support the next generation of professionals.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome companies that:

  • Can offer meaningful discounts or resources to SDI students
  • Value education and hands-on career training
  • Are open to long-term collaboration through dealer programs, internships, or events
