Educate our students about the many local employment opportunities available to them. Provide businesses with employees who are better educated in the specifics of their business and who come prepared into the workforce. Provide the opportunity for students to meet directly with individuals who are in careers in which they might be interested, so that students will make educated decisions about their futures. Provide another marketing tool for local economic development. A contract among students, educators, and businesses.
Students agree to treat school as a job in anticipation of employment.
Educators pledge that they will provide young people with an education that will prepare them to be productive members of their families, workplaces, and communities and Provide a student's prospective employers with full and forthright performance evaluations. Businesses pledge to give extra consideration to applications submitted by students who have signed a Workforce Endorsement Agreement, asking the school for the employability record and Help local educators in appropriate ways to secure the means with which to offer their students a quality education. The school superintendents and student body presidents signed the Educators' contracts in the fall of 1995. Enrollment of students in grades ten, eleven, and twelve began in December, 1996. We continue to add businesses to the partnership and each month update our list of business participants.
