Rural Collaboratives
We build coalitions between district schools, institutions of higher education, and local industries to design, launch, and scale career-connected learning programs designed to help students find academic and career success.
Better Together
Connecting
We connect rural school districts to industry leaders and institutions of higher education in new ways so they can offer a variety of opportunities for all students. Creating relationships between public school districts also enhances access to robust college and career pathways aligned to regional labor market needs.
Supporting
We support these Rural Collaboratives to develop their vision and set ambitious goals, making it possible to track student success over time and ensuring local stakeholders are invested and able to adjust course along the way.
Codifying
We codify these partnerships through formal agreements so accountability for student and community success is shared across sectors and resources are split equitably, enabling these efforts to lead to jobs with family-sustaining wages and sustain over time.
