Aims
This lens assesses the connectedness and engagement of the institution with industry.
Having and maintaining these connections is vital for students wishing to pursue successful careers in international trade.
Not only does it demonstrate that the school or program is purposefully connected to the industry it seeks to educate about, but that it is held in esteem by that industry in return.
