In relation to the study outcomes, several results of the study illustrate the important activities, including community and economic development activities, WFD faculty participate in at the community
college. For one, WFD faculty approach the community college to offer courses of study within WFD. Their strength is their intimate knowledge of their industry or field and their ability and desire to share it with others. Additionally, another major result of this study reveals a lack of resources available to properly develop the WFD faculty. There was differing expectations as to the role of professional development activities for WFD faculty between the interviewees and the faculty. All interviewees indicated that professional development is unlikely to occur for WFD faculty beyond community college orientations. Although WFD faculty enter the community college as highly skilled in their fields, they acknowledged the need for further training in order to maintain their skill set and grow as a community college faculty member.
