American Colleges and Training for Industry

Abstract

Academia and industry are unlikely partners. The two kinds of organisations differ in fundamental ways that, at first glance, seem to preclude, or certainly hinder, co‐operation. However, the two organisations have increased their co‐operative efforts, especially in the area of training in the past decade. The increase in higher education/industry training partnerships is discussed and some important aspects of that relationship are highlighted.
