Abstract: The purpose of this study was to extend the current literature on college/industry relationships by examining the present status of college/industry relationships in North Carolina community colleges and offering a conceptual framework for managing those interactions. In developing the framework, several areas were studied: the literature on American College/Industry programs; the types, extensiveness, and effectiveness of college/industry relationships in the N.C.C.C.S.; and the linkage between community colleges' services and economic development. Data for the current status of college/industry relationship were supplied by surveys sent to the academic deans in the fifty-eight institutions and by interviews with six community college administrators with primary responsibility for managing college/industry relationships. The conceptual framework for managing college/industry programs includes both strategic and operational planning components. Both components are based on a sequence of planning, selecting, organizing and delivering, and evaluating services.
