Public/Private Partnership Programs.
District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington, DC.
This document presents the Public/Private Partnership Programs, a school-community project developed in 1981 by the District of Columbia public schools and the private sector community to provide career-focused high school programs. The project was designed to motivate and support young people to stay in school, graduate from high school, and become responsible citizens. A summary of the project notes that the focus is on career-fields in which labor studies indicate high employment opportunities will be available, and that the project combines specialized academic curriculum with practical hands-on epxeriences and work opportunities. The major roles of businesses are listed and benefits of the partnership are given. Separate pages describe each of the programs available through the partnership, including: (1) Career Enrichment Program; (2) Business and Finance; (3) Pre-Engineering; (4) Health Careers; (5) International Studies; (6) Hospitality Careers; (7) Culinary Arts; (8) Building Trades; and (9) Communications.
