Abstract | This study examines the intent and operation of postsecondary education linkages with business and industry. Following an introduction, chapter II describes the Industry Services Training Program, which provides occupational training for jobs created by new, expanding, and diversified industry, and the Sunshine State Skills Program, which helps to form partnerships between community colleges and businesses to train new employees or help upgrade the competencies of present employees. It also describes related economic development initiatives within Florida and selected programs outside of Florida. Chapter III contains a description of the study design and findings from interviews conducted with economic development initiative constituencies, i.e., individuals representing local education agencies, business and industry, and state agencies. Chapter IV reviews the issues identified for this study and makes recommendations. Recommendations include: (1) to maintain the two programs, but to provide for closer coordination; (2) to provide training not already available in order to promote economic development; (3) to support only advanced technical skill training needs at a level commensurate with community college offerings; (4) to monitor the common training needs identified; (5) to continue use of the Targeted Industrial Cluster List; (6) to avoid company dependence on the program for staff development needs; and (7) to maintain data to evaluate program effectiveness. Appendixes include relevant statutes and interview questions. (YLB) |
