Corporate Imperative: A Business Guide for Implementing Strategic EducationPartnerships

摘要

This Business Guide is designed to assess your company's current business-education partnerships and determine the extent to which they are linked to key business and school objectives. You can use this Guide to assess your company's current educational initiatives (or consider your options if this is a new area for your company); build on existing educational initiatives to create more strategic business-education partnerships; consider your educational approaches within the context of national priority areas and revise them accordingly; determine to what degree your corporate culture supports business-education partnerships; and to evaluate the outcome of programs, practices and policies designed to meet business and school concerns. You should complete the Business Guide if you are human resource staff members interested in policies that promote employee and company involvement in education; work-life managers with responsibilities for designing company policies that promote employee work-life balance; community relations practitioners responsible for the development and implementation of community educational initiatives; administrators committed to linking business objectives to educational programs; education managers who drive employee and community education programs; and training and organizational development staff focused on employee skill building and growth, including creating a positive organizational culture.
