  2. Summary of partnership Benefits to universities Vision for the partnership Keys to success Measures of success Lessons learned Replication of cooperation Discussion Outline

  3. Summary of Partnership Workforce Enhancement New Technology and Products

  4. Supporting economic development in Virginia Career opportunities for our students in Virginia Relationship with a leader in a growing industry Opportunity to partner with a global company Global internship opportunities for our students Industry feedback and support for our programs New students for our graduate programs Industry relevant research for our faculty and students Technology exchange between university and industry Basis to build on for other industries (automotive, etc.) Growth of faculty and students in key technologies Resources to support the above activities Benefits to Universities

  5. World’s best center of excellence in advanced manufacturing World’s best center of excellence in aerospace propulsion systems Rolls-Royce becomes the world’s leading supplier of jet engines Commonwealth of Virginia becomes the world’s hub for employment, technology creation, and production for jet engines and related technologies UVA and Virginia Tech graduate programs are both elevated to become top 20 Virginia Community College Systems works closely with higher education to become a leader in workforce training for Rolls-Royce Vision for the Partnership

  6. UVA and Virginia Tech must work as true partners Rolls-Royce needs to view us collectively as a single resource Partnership must combine the strengths of both universities UVA, Virginia Tech, and the Commonwealth of Virginia must ensure the success of Rolls-Royce in Prince George County Rolls-Royce must succeed for us to succeed Facility must be up and running and staffed on time Engineering and high technology workforce must be expanded in Virginia Growth of UVA and Virginia Tech engineering programs Growth of Community College associate engineering programs Expansion of K-12 science and engineering programs Keys to Success

  7. Number of graduates in engineering and science from Virginia Tech, UVA, and the Community Colleges Number of graduates placed in positions with Rolls-Royce Number of Rolls-Royce jobs in Virginia and sales of products made in Virginia Number of suppliers and their jobs that locate in Virginia to serve Rolls-Royce Number of start-up companies created from UVA and Virginia Tech in the aerospace and manufacturing technologies Successful technology transfer between UVA, Virginia Tech, and Rolls-Royce Research funding attracted from Rolls-Royce and others in the aerospace and manufacturing technologies External research funding attracted by collaborations between UVA, Virginia Tech, and Rolls-Royce Measures of Success

  8. The combination of UVA, Virginia Tech, and the Community College System creates a formidable partnership that few states can match Workforce development is the top priority of high technology companies when they consider locations Existing relationships between companies and the universities can play a critical role in economic development decisions and processes Global capabilities of the universities are key to success Lessons Learned

  9. Closer interaction between VEDP and the higher education community between opportunities Collaboration on general workforce development efforts Cultivation of higher education relationships with national and international industry Building on the success and understand the process of the Rolls Royce initiative Replication of Cooperationwith VEDP and the Commonwealth
