But despite this major role, there is surprising variability in community colleges' supply of, and employers' demand for, employee training. While a few community colleges supply a lot of employee training, many provide little. Moreover, althought large employers and ones in industries such as manufacturing tend to utilize the community college heavily, smaleer employers and ones in industries such as retail trade use it much less.
