Abstract

In this paper the author describes one example of a partnership between a corporation and a public institution of higher learning. NYNEX, formerly the New York Telephone Company, and Empire State College of the State University of New York came together to form a unique partnership – the Corporate/College Program. This partnership was created to respond to the needs of the corporation to upgrade their workforce during a period of rapid transition. The author summarizes the primary features of the Program, and outlines some of the benefits and difficulties which have arisen as a result of trying to build a working partnership between the academic and corporate worlds.
