      abstract = {This book examines the tide of change facing higher  education as it grapples with providing a more relevant and  demonstrated value for its graduates entering the  workplace. Based on their experience with the Business in  Practice program they created, the authors share the  rationale and practical approaches colleges and  universities need to implement if they are to foster the  development of a work-ready graduate. What sets the program  apart are the two-credit courses crafted to take advantage  of the unique knowledge and work experiences of industry  professionals that complements our core curriculum.  Utilizing experiential learning, the program is designed so  that students can apply soft/smart skills in a progression  that helps develop those capabilities that are beneficial  for them and desired by employers. It is structured to  bring internship-like experiences to campus, giving the  vast majority of students a quality work-related experience  that is impactful and relevant for todays economy. Neil B.  Niman is currently the Faculty Director of the Business in  Practice program at the University of New Hampshire, USA.  He was previously the Associate Dean for Academic Programs  and Chair of the Department of Economics where he holds a  faculty appointment as Associate Professor of Economics.

Paul College of Business and Economics at the  University of New Hampshire, USA.
