    Business and Community Partnerships

    Business and Community partnerships are an essential part of the Launch career and technical education programs.  The partnerships offer many opportunities to work collaboratively with local businesses and industries to make meaningful connections between the classroom and career opportunities with local companies for students in the Rogers Public Schools.  The partnerships also help to prepare students for jobs that are needed to meet current and projected high demand workforce areas in Northwest Arkansas. 

     

    In addition, partnerships with community organizations and councils, workforce development boards and non-profit organizations are also essential to career programs, as they bring a expanded perspective of how career and technical education can best align with current and projected community workforce and economic development initiatives.  Representatives from these organizations have been an integral part of the establishing partnerships and collaborative networks with local businesses and industries.  Below are just a few of the collaborative initiatives that have been implemented through our business partnerships with Tyson Foods, Inc., GLAD/CLOROX Company and the Business & Industry Training Center.
