EAB Develop Employer Partnerships Graphic

EAB research indicates program administrators should encourage regional employers with the most demand for master’s-level global supply chain management professionals to join a program advisory board. An advisory board allows employers to advise program curriculum and offer mentoring and capstone project opportunities for students. Partnerships through an advisory board encourage interactions with employers who will most likely hire or promote program graduates, as administrators can demonstrate the program’s alignment with industry expectations. Share labor market data with participating employers to demonstrate administrators’ intent to prepare graduates for employer expectations and confirm an understanding of employers’ unique needs.
