Abstract
In their search for the next generation of talented employees, big businesses are looking critically at the early years of their future recruits. Fearing that public education may only get worse, corporations are initiating partnerships with schools to help bolster the quality and tailor the skill sets of graduates soon to enter the work force. In today9s technological society, the bar has been raised: the required level of reading, writing and arithmetic skills is moving steadily upward. Yet for business/school partnerships to work, companies have to listen, as well as teach. Educators probably have more to offer businesses than businesses can offer to education. By operating with some measure of humility, companies stand to gain much from their education partners: how to create an environment in which people—employees and students alike—can not only learn and achieve, but prosper.
