IT IS TIME TO GET CONNECTED

Your Future Workforce <-> Our Current Student Body
Every business takes part in the development of their future workforce. The only choice a business has is when to become involved—at the beginning or end stage of the process. What will your choice be; proactive or reactive? The benefits are clear: a career-minded, innovative, knowledge-based worker for every industry that will keep our local economy vibrant and your business strong. Becoming involved is easier than you think. With three levels of participation, Mentor-Advisor-Sponsor, there is a fit that is right for you.

Join Us for our Annual Event 2009
Great accomplishments do not occur in a vacuum; they require the expertise and collaboration of a variety of partners. For the third consecutive year, the Business & Education Direct Connect annual event will serve as a catalyst to strengthen and develop strategic relationships between leaders in business and education. This event, hosting approximately 500 attendees, is the first step in a process that ensures members of the business community have an equitable voice in the development of their future workforce. Establishing an ongoing dialogue between leaders in business/industry and educators is a key element to maintain and develop innovative programs that reflect our collective principles, needs and values.

Thank you to those who joined us on January 15, 2009 as we focused on the urgent national priority of STEM.
