The document outlines a proposed program called HighScholar that aims to better align university education with industry needs by having companies recruit and partially fund students' education in exchange for commitments around course of study, internships, and post-graduation employment. It describes how students and companies would participate through application and selection processes, and what funding and commitment terms might look like to address issues around rising education costs, uncertain career prospects, and skills gaps. The goal is to give students clearer career paths while helping industries access a more tailored workforce.
