Corporate Voices for Working Families, United Way Worldwide and Workforce Strategy Center, with the support of the Ready by 21 National Partnership, have combined their business and community engagement experience on education and workforce readiness issues and created two toolkits that assist business and community leaders in developing long-term, sustainable partnerships to ensure all youth are ready for college, work and life. The first toolkit, Supporting the Education Pipeline: A Business Engagement Toolkit for Community-Based Organizations, gave community leaders lessons and action strategies on how to identify potential partners, to set realistic goals and how to set up partnerships for long-term success. This toolkit, a companion to the first, will assist business leaders in cultivating relationships with community leaders, building the foundations for successful innovative community partnerships and strategically aligning a business’ community initiatives to increase their return on investment.
