Caperton Center for School Business Partnerships
The Caperton Center for School Business Partnerships provides support and resources to develop and sustain school-business partnerships that promote student success.
What is a School-Business Partnership? a Partneship is a collaborative relationship between a school (or school district) and a business designed to enhance educational opportunities and outcomes for students.
Why do School-Business Partnerships Matter? Partnerships leverage the resources, expertise, and networks of the business community to support student success in areas such as:
- Student support (providing read-aloud, internships, mentoring, or career exploration),
- Resource sharing (offering funding, materials, or technology),
- Community engagement (building connections between schools and local industries).
- Innovation (aligning education with real-world skills),
The goal is to create mutually beneficial initiatives that prepare students for future success while contributing to the workforce needs and civic engagement of the community.
