Abstract
Knowledge is infinity that no matter how much a person learns, it will never be enough. However, it is through lifelong learning, a human can acquire the valuable asset of knowledge. This paper explores the role of university-business linkage in fostering the lifelong learning of the community. By collecting data through survey, using descriptive statistics and regression model for analysis, the research observes a positive effect of university-business linkage and the lifelong learning’s standpoint on the community's lifelong learning abilities. This positive relationship implies the need to extend the university-business cooperation and to shape an appropriate standpoint about lifelong learning that will help the community stay competitive in the workplace, engage in community civic life, enrich and fulfill personal life.
