There is no fee to be an academy partner! For successful implementation, this model requires business partners to contribute at their selected school(s) by donating their time and talent to our local scholars.There are two different levels of partnership within our model:

Pathway Partner – a pathway partner agrees to participate in two engagements with scholars and school teams per year. These engagements can take many forms, with the most common being; guest speaking, hosting industry tours, conducting mock interviews, providing curriculum/industry-recognized credentialing advice, allowing students to job shadow, by hiring interns or by participating in the annual career exploration event.

Academy Partner – an academy partner agrees to participate in all the engagements outlined above for a pathway partner, but they agree to do so with a pre-determined amount of in-kind donation of time, talent and equipment.
