Building Meaningful Industry-Student Connections From a corporate standpoint, engaging with universities and students is more than just recruitment—it’s about shaping tomorrow’s workforce. Many organizations I closely work with, are increasingly recognizing the value of collaborating with educational institutions to develop talent pipelines aligned with industry needs. What’s even more exciting? Many companies are experimenting with innovative strategies like mentorship programs, on-campus projects, and customized internships to not only attract top talent but also nurture it. The result? A win-win for students eager to learn and businesses looking for fresh, diverse perspectives. Are the corporate leaders, doing enough to build these meaningful connections? There’s always room to do more. #CorporateOutreach #FutureLeaders #FutureWorkforce

They’ve gotten jobs with the government, nonprofits, and universities or schools. We recently caught up with three former Leadership Development Program participants.
