Business & Education Partnership Opportunities for Greater Peninsula Employers

The Business & Education Partnership provides employers with ways to provide value-added resources to school divisions with a chance to make those contributions count. In an effort to prepare youth for the "real world", there are a variety of ways to make business and education partnerships more meaningful. The benefits of participating in the partnership are many. Those who already contribute find students who are more motivated in the real world of work and see the connection between education and their own success. Your active involvement with educators will bridge the gap between business and academic environments and bring added value and profitability to your company.

As a business leader, your vision and commitment to the success of our educational systems not only provide our students with real-life insights into the working world, it helps our employers become more competitive on the local, state, national or world-wide marketplace. If you are an educator looking for enrichment opportunities, click the button on the right to access your resources page.
