Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the benefits and challenges of partnerships between adult education providers and businesses. The chapter addresses reasons for engaging in partnerships, the typical partners involved, types of partnerships, partnership activities, and the process of building a partnership.

Based on that case, lessons learned and future trends in educational partnerships as they relate to economic development and America’s ability to remain globally competitive are discussed.
