The CLL Program must be treated as an equal partnership. For a CLL program to work, it must be viewed as a partnership between the school and the corporate site. Partnerships need to be more than a one-way exchange. Each party must enter the program willing to share the load and be active in pursing the program's mission. Mutual benefits, shared goals, and joint decisions can all lead to greater acceptance and support for partnership.
People are key .
There is no substitute for having individuals on both sides of the partnership who want to and are willing to work at the project to make it a success. Establish a clear mission, goals and objectives . Any partnership or project must be continuously evaluated to determine its success and to identify areas for improvement. A CLL partnership is no different. Its value to the school and site needs to be evaluated in respect to the effort and expenses required.
