Community college and industry leaders need to work on their relationships, according to a new report.
A new report, released today, concludes that community college leaders and employers are failing to partner with each other in ways that meet both of their needs.
The findings are based on November 2020 surveys of employers and community college leaders, conducted by the Harvard Business School Project on Managing the Future of Work and the American Association of Community Colleges.
The surveys elicited responses from 800 senior executives, senior managers and middle managers, and 347 community college leaders responded, representing a quarter of community colleges nationwide. Researchers also conducted field interviews with college and business leaders.
