Purdue Tackles Job Training - Rick Seltzer, Inside Higher Ed

Purdue University unveiled another outside-the-box move Thursday, announcing a five-year deal with one of India’s largest technology outsourcing firms, Infosys, under which the university will perform joint research and provide training and classes for the company's employees. The two parties cast the deal as a significant step in work-force development in both Indiana and the U.S. Given Purdue’s high profile as a public research university, it could also prove to be a notable step for higher education, moving four-year institutions further into job training more typically performed by community colleges and for-profits. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/18/purdue-play-key-role-infosys-us-hiring-and-training-push
