Planning for lifelong education
William A. Weimer
Industry and Higher Education
Abstract
Continuing education has become a large market with participation by industrial firms, educational institutions and firms in the business of education. Both education and industry should develop strategies for their involvement in continuing education. Both should commit to the concept of lifelong learning as essential for their success. Both should consider cooperative projects as one of the most cost-effective ways of providing continuing education. Both should improve communication with each other to improve our capability to identify appropriate joint projects and to improve our management of them.
