Abstract

The article discusses a new model for collaboration between companies and universities to train tech workers. Instead of transactional relationships, companies and schools are working together to develop curricula and spaces where students can learn and work with cutting-edge technologies. The article outlines five principles for successful collaboration, including creating advisory boards with representatives from a variety of companies, offering compelling incentives for companies to participate, addressing intellectual property ownership, employing directors with corporate experience, and emphasizing hands-on experiences and equipment. This model helps companies have a pipeline of skilled employees and reduces the burden of training for companies. [Extracted from the article]
