Making connections with business partners to enhance the educational experience is easier than ever. The Link Business Resource guide helps students and educators connect with businesses in the area who are willing to support and participate in career and educational activities.

Your role in helping students prepare for making career choices is vital. Not only do you teach them reading, writing, math and more but also the skills to successfully apply what is taught in the classroom to the real world.

It is never too soon to start planning your future. Exploring careers and career options, choosing a career path, creating a career plan and putting that plan into action begins in elementary school and can continue throughout your working life. 

You are the consumer of the product education produces. You need a workforce that is prepared with not only the knowledge and skills they learned in the classroom but also the ability to be responsible employees.

School to Career as well as business and education partnerships are supported through the efforts of many groups in the Southeast Iowa region.
