Forming Partnerships
The Pathways Program is focused on building better contact with businesses and organizations within the local community and across the state of Indiana.
The CR&I seeks to collaborate with others to build a better economy and better communities. Not only does this allow Taylor University to share its intellectual capital to assist others, but it creates opportunities for students to participate in solving real-life challenges, whether through classroom projects or summer internships.
As students interact with these businesses and organizations, were hopeful that some of these opportunities will develop into full-time job offers.
Innovative Network
Taylor University is one of the founding members of the Innovative Network, an organization within the local county that includes:
- Indiana Wesleyan University
- Ivy Tech - Marion
- Grant County Economic Growth Council
- Marion/Grant County Chamber of Commerce
We are collaborating together to stimulate a knowledge based economy and promote entrepreneurship.
Internships
The CR&I is coordinating with Career Development to promote internships. Among our resources is the Innovative Network, which has developed contacts with many area businesses that would like to have student interns.
Every Fall and Spring, the Network hosts an Internship Fair. This past event had over 30 businesses and organizations represented.
