Without a doubt, education continues to be everybody's business.
Employers, educators, parents, and government and community leaders are
increasingly intent on "walking," not just "talking," when it comes to
making programs work, leveraging efforts, and pursuing better results.
Business has a major stake in better education and seeks to make its
investments reap benefits, including the recruitment and retention of
productive employees; a healthy balance in employees' work and family
lives; consumer loyalty; and thriving communities where employees live and
work. Of equal importance are the accompanying "payoffs" to students,
schools, and families when business works together with its education and
community partners to improve children's learning.
The 1999 Business and Education Conference offers you opportunities
to network, exchange ideas, and build effective solutions with other
business leaders, educators, and community partners to strengthen and
expand employee and family involvement in education. You will hear
concrete, useful strategies that have worked to:
- accelerate efforts to improve children's learning
- effect 'seamless' transitions to post-secondary education, training, and
work
- determine benefits for business, education, families, and community
- leverage exemplary practices and programs
- link inschool and afterschool learning to improve student achievement
K-12 focus, it appears, but sounds interesting...
