Business & Community Engagement
Knowledge transfer, innovation and employer engagement are high on the Government's agenda for economic prosperity and quality of life and are major drivers for strategic change in educational institutions.
JISC supports colleges and universities in the strategic management of relationships with partners and clients external to the institution, and in managing the associated activities and services, such as knowledge exchange and workforce development.
The benefits of effective business and community engagement include a more highly skilled workforce, a more efficient, dynamic and sustainable economy and a more cohesive, knowledge-enabled society.
