The customized contract training agreements between community colleges and corporations have contradictory effects. Corporations receive economic benefits because contracting with community colleges is often cheaper than providing in-house training for employees. Community colleges receive increased revenue and increased political support from corporations. However, the training emphasis is likely to hurt the colleges by detracting from their already weakened liberal arts and transfer programs. The overall effect of customized contract training is to push these institutions further in the direction of becoming primarily vocational, rather than educational institutions. This, in turn, will provide even fewer opportunities for upward mobility for poor and minority students
