Contracting With Business and Industry also involves the business community in the educational process. The time has arrived for us to work together to educate our people. The private sector can no longer point the finger at the public sector to educate. We all need to get involved. Students benefit by having a wider variety of career choices available.
Students also find more relevance to their on-campus coursework.
They are provided skills immediately transferable to the workplace. An additional benefit to the student is that many are hired during their program or upon completion. The college also experiences many advantages. We have broadened access for many groups of individuals previously excluded and expanded occupational offerings to students of all ages without appreciably increasing overhead. The college is in a better position to respond to changing patterns in social-economic educational requirements.
