There has been much concern regarding the preparedness for employment in the 21st century. Much of the concern has been centered around future employees not having the appropriate skills needed to compete in a global economy. This phenomenon can be described as a gap in skills. This study used a qualitative, interpretative phenomenology analysis approach to explore how community college faculty/ administrators and employers make sense of the role they play in developing relationships in an effort to close the skills gap and ensure that there is an alignment in the skills being taught and skills needed for industry. The relationships between the colleges and employers were explored using the stakeholder theoretical framework. Two community college faculty members, two senior level academic administrators and two employers from different fields were interviewed for this study. The finding revealed that community colleges and employers believed that a skills gap does in fact exist and has created barriers to employment for students. The participants felt strongly in that the gap between what is taught in the classroom and what is needed for successful employment could be addressed through engaging in structured external stakeholder relationships. The participants felt as though they had a clear understanding of the role they played in establishing stakeholder relationships. They also believed that they understood the benefits of having such relationships.
