TSU’s approach to expanding university-corporate relations will consist of marketing, matching, and managing mutually rewarding business-academia partnerships.   

The university is primarily interested in securing favorable opportunities for its students: part-time work, experiential internships, and career employment. The corporate community, on the other hand, has an abiding interest in hiring and retaining qualified employees to meet its human resource demands. 

The TSU team - the administration, faculty and career center staff, strives for student development. The corporate contribution to this ongoing effort could involve the offering of scholarships, internships, part-time employment, and professional mentorship to eligible students. 

The end result of the mutual cooperation would be for the graduate to be employed, the business to succeed, and the university to benefit from its alumni in the corporate world.
