| BUSINESS & EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS
What is a Business & Education Partnership?
What do senior proms, reading programs, field trips, physical fitness
training, business etiquette, and computer classes have to do with
one another? They are all examples of ways that business and community
groups are making a difference in Newport News Public Schools through
Business & Education Partnerships.
A Business & Education Partnership is a collaborative agreement
between a school and an organization to help students learn, grow
and attain the knowledge they will need for the future. Partnerships
can exist between schools and businesses, religious institutions,
civic groups, nonprofit associations, academic institutions and
military commands.
Registering to be a Business & Education Partner is easy. The
Peninsula Council for Workforce Development has partnered with local
school divisions and has developed a website (http://www.pcfwd.org)
that pairs businesses and educators. To register, all that you need
to do is log on to the website, fill out a simple form and indicate
how you would like help Newport News Public Schools.
Afterwards the Peninsula Council for Workforce Development and
an individual from the school division will contact you. You can
also contact the Newport News Public Schools Community Relations
Department at (757) 591-4545, or through e-mail at BizEd@nn.k12.va.us.
Educating tomorrow’s work force is everybody’s business!
