Students also save time by not having to repeat those courses when they enroll in college certificate or degree programs. Colleges benefit by attracting more and better prepared students into their certificate and degree programs. Colleges also benefit by developing collaborative relationships with secondary faculty in discipline-specific areas. These partnerships allow faculty at each educational level to become more aware of the challenges facing faculty at each level and to develop curriculum that is both rigorous and relevant. Communities benefit by gaining a better skilled workforce through a focused educational effort between secondary and post secondary institutions.
Communities also benefit by having the members of their community gainfully employed.
