BUSINESS IN EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS

What is a Business in Education (BIE) Partnership?

BIE Partners are committed to helping students become competent, creative and constructive citizens. BIE partners share their knowledge and talents with students and our schools in the following ways:

  • Providing real-world learning experiences

  • Preparing students for the workforce through internships, mentorships and career education

  • Supporting teachers and staff members

  • Donating professional services and goods to augment school experiences

  • Sponsoring school affiliated organizations and clubs/teams/events

  • Serving as school volunteers

  • Offering volunteer opportunities for students

  • Assisting school staff in the review of instructional programs to ensure relevant instruction

  • Assisting and advising in the development and approval of the Annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) Plan and programs

The BIE Partnership Directory includes recognition of these individual partnerships and how they support FCCPS students and staff. Please show your appreciation for these businesses and their commitment to our schools:  

Shop there. Eat there. Recommend them. Thank them!
