We've worked closely with many nationally-known companies. They are often willing to come to campus and perform mock interviews, do a curriculum review, or sit on a long-standing committee. They also have taken some of our professors for a summer to work on a project at their company. This builds relationships, benefits the company, and sharpens the skills of the professors. For example, take a look at the education system in Germany or other European countries.
People go to university when they want to teach or for some professional accreditation.
But you usually have these 2 or 3 year programs that are very intense, very good, and they are connected to the high schools not the universities. This gives people a tremendous chance for technical training especially since a college education seems to be getting more and more financially daunting. It provides different paths for different people's needs. It might look like a great fit, but it doesn't take into account the culture of the company. Or maybe everyone is expected to dress up everyday, instead of wearing business casual.
