Why Partnerships?

Business and Community Partnerships are collaborative efforts to achieve mutually agreed upon goals
and objectives by matching community resources to identified needs of a CTE program. Partnerships can
exist between schools and businesses, civic groups, non-profit associations, academic institutions and
governmental agencies. The resources provided by business partners help students learn, grow and
attain the knowledge they will need for the future. The development of external partnerships between
members of the community and the school system helps to meet the diverse needs of students.
