Abstract
The availability of accessing nationally recognized educators for customized executive education for the corporate population is an expensive proposition for many colleges and universities. A new model for executive education can achieve the learning needs of the corporate community while maximizing shared costs through a partnership process. This partnership, formed between local colleges and universities and area businesses provides a venue of customized curriculum taught by world-class providers of executive education for minimal cost and time away from work for executives as well as superb local networking opportunities.
