Are you looking to local community colleges or high schools as a key source of talent to build your future workforce? Are you trying to partner with academics to create more qualified job candidates?

I just completed a study of successful industry/academic partnerships in the supply chain sector. The goal of the study was to understand how to build partnerships with schools to support workforce development. The report is available now. From it you can learn what steps are essential for establishing successful relationships with schools in your area.  Download the report from MHI’s website.

Among many useful elements in the report, Exhibit 1 is an excellent checklist of steps that are critical for building productive relationships with colleges and high schools.
