The Business Partners Program
The Business Partners Program was established in 1995 to promote two-way communication between Cuesta College and the San Luis Obispo County business community enabling the college to better serve the educational training needs of local employers and employees. The program enriches and enhances the College's role in the county's economic development by involving business leaders in the forefront of new directions and partnerships for education.
Cuesta College provides essential training to improve the skills of the local workforce, enhancing the effectiveness of businesses and the local economy. The need for lifelong learning and training opportunities requires a collaborative effort between the College and local employers.
