Employer involvement in universityprograms range from participation in curriculum design to work-based learning opportunities forstudents [7][8][9][10]. In addition to employer involvement, many universities have engaged inactivities such as identifying the regional industries and the regional economic growth in order toensure students understand the career pathway options available to them once they havecompleted the academic path taken[7][8][9][10]. Universities realize the important relationshipbetween economic growth and well prepared graduates who can meet the demands of localbusinesses[10].
