Aligning Education with Work: Why Employer Partnerships Are the Key to Effective Workforce Education in North Carolina. Policy Brief
Overview & Synopsis
There is a persistent mismatch between North Carolina's higher education outputs and the state's workforce needs. In order to address this gap, policymakers must prioritize and incentivize ways for employers and institutions of higher education (IHEs) to work together, while also rewarding excellence in delivery and outcomes. Employer-higher education partnerships offer the most effective, scalable path to a more vibrant, efficient economy. This policy brief explains the scope of the misalignment problem, the benefits of employer partnerships, and offers practical policy solutions.
