• Scheduling Classes – Smaller schools don’t necessarily have the resources to offer needed classes in a compressed time frame.

• Transportation – Getting and maintaining reliable transportation for students to make it to the college and work.

• Gender diversity within the program.

• Course selection that would support both Caterpillar’s business need and that are attractive to the student as transferrable to other schools and relate to Caterpillar career paths.

• Managing the logistics of the program – the manpower needed to create the program and keep it going should not be underestimated.
