A USER-FRIENDLY MODEL FOR
BUSINESS/EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS
Script
Pasco-Hernando Community College is a small college in Central
Florida. The two-county area does not have many large businesses.
Most organizations are small or government related.
The Steering Committee decided that the most important
component of the Pasco-Hernando Tech Prep Consortium would be the
involvement of the businesses in the area. The committee members
knew that if they could get the business people to a meeting, they
could sell them on Tech Prep. As the members brain stormed, they
decided that few businesses could resist an invitation from the two
school district superintendents and from the president of the
college. A letter was developed that displayed the original
signature of these three people. (Getting original signatures on
several hundred letters was a fete!) In addition to mailing the
letter, follow-up telephone calls were also made. Since lunch was
being served, getting an accurate number ,of those planning to
attend was crucial. (The first contribution was lunch. It was
provided by two of the hospitals in the area.)
As the day approached for what the Steering Committee was
calling a Tech Prep Kickoff, a tremendous number of companies had
responded that they intended to participate. Little did the
committee know at the time what a monster had been created. Not
only did the businesses get on the bandwagon, but they were
prepared to work! The coordinators had a hard time keeping up with
the projects and ideas that this group generated. During the next
3
few weeks, it became apparent that there was a need to focus the
energies of the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) in
a few areas. They decided that they wanted to form the following
subcommittees:
Scholarship Subcommittee: This group devoted their energies
to identifying businesses who wanted to contribute to a scholarship
fund for Tech Prep students. The subcommittee began by contacting
the three education foundations. Bach of those foundations made a
contribution. They developed a letter and a brochure that was sent
to businesses in the area. The college foundation was the
collection fund for contributions for two reasons--contributors
could make tax deductible contributions and the college was able to
match the dollars with a state incentive fund. Even during slow
economic times, the scholarship fund has received several thousand
dollars in contributions.
Educators in the Workplace Subcommittee: The BIAC believed
that one of the most important components to a successful
partnership was getting the business people into the schools and
the educators into the businesses. The Educators in the Workplace
Subcommittee was charged with developing a plan whereby educators
could spend days in the businesses in the consortium. They first
identified businesses that wanted to host the educators. Then a
schedule was developed and leaders were identified who could
explain the operations of their business. Each day, lunch was
provided by one of the companies and substitutes were provided in
the classroom for the teachers.
4
Educators from the two school systems and the community
college spent one day a week for five weeks touring the businesses.
The day's schedule usually included two companies--one in the
morning and one in the afternoon. The participants decided at the
end of the project which company they would like to spend an entire
day job shadowing. A schedule was developed and the shadowing was
assigned.
The followup for this project has been very positive.
The consortium plans to repeat the event three times a year.
Mentors Subcommittee: This subcommittee arranged for high
school students to job shadow for a two-week period. Many
businesses agreed to host students as they explored the various
aspects of jobs in which they thought they might be interested.
The Consortium discovered with the students (high school and
college) were not aware of the different types of jobs and duties
available in the business world. This project allows students to
explore jobs in which they might be interested before they devote
years to training.
One of the most helpful components of the business partnership
has been the work we have done with the Economic Development people
in both counties. These are hard-working professionals who are
genuinely interested in the business partnerships. They gather the
businesses for meetings and projects and they also act as a
resource for new ideas. The Consortium has greatly benefited from
this alliance.
As the second year is ending with the consortium, it is
apparent that businesses have been the catalyst that many times has
5
kept the project members going. Except for the coordinators, the
other members of the Steering Committee all have several other
activities that keep them occupied. Knowing that these business
people were depending on a successful project has made all of the
members get involved with the business projects. The school and
college staffs know that they cannot designate the duties to a few;
all must be involved so that support can be given to the business
community and they in turn will support the schools' projects.
The involvement that the Consortium has experienced with the
businesses has flowed over into other areas of the college. The
college has been able to identify some adjunct instructors as well
as prospective students. Several of the business people have
contacted us to help with in-service training of their employees.
Some of them were unaware that these services were offered.
The relationship that the consortium has developed with the
local businesses is a relationship that all parties intend to
nurture and maintain. It is felt that this partnership will
enhance the educational experience that we provide for all
students. It is truly a Win-Win situation for the schools and fur
the students.

Mrs. Dorothy CurtinOwnerMinutemen Press7117 U.S. HWY 19New Port Richey, FL 34652
Dear Mrs. curtin:
Tech Prep is a very exciting, promising collaborative project that the Pasco County School
System, the Hernando County School System, and Pasco-Hernando Community College haveundertaken to address our students' needs as well as business and industry's need for a
highly skilled work force. We are asking that you join with us in this endeavor.
we educators have agreed in this project that we are committed to:
raising the educational level of our graduates by encouraging all students totake more challenging courses;
making learning more relevant by teaching using an applied approach that showsstudents how this knowledge is used in the working world;
encouraging students to continue their education at least through the associate
degree. We must show students that although most jobs do not require abachelor's degree, most do require some postsecondary training in our high tech
world.
The Tech Prep project will allow teachers and business people to develop meaningful coursesequences that students can follow as they progress toward their goal. Our college prepstudents have always had this clear path laid out for them; now it is time for the remaining
80% to have this opportunity.
Please plan to come to our Tech Prep Kickoff Celebration April 15 from 9 am until 4 pm, atRiver Ridge High School in New Port Richey. We will send you a reminder and a map later, butWO know how crowded your calendarr are and we want you to reserve April 15 for Tech Prep.Please R.S.V.P. to Mrs. Evelyn Eckhard in the Tech Prep Office of P-HCC by Friday, March 19.You can reach Mrs. Eckhard by telephoning your local campus (Brooksville 796-6726, Dade City567-6701, New Port Richey 847-2727) and entering her extension, 3355.
Thank you for considering this involvement with your educational mmunit . We believe thatTech Prep can be the answer that we are all looking for.

TECH PREP: REGAINING OUR NUMBER IPOSITION IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY(Sample Newsletter Article)
Tech Prep--Technology Preparation for an information-based age--isa national reform initiative funded by the Carl D. PerkinsVocational and Applied Technology Education Act Amendments of 1990.
The mission of Tech Prep is to enable the United States to regainits Number One position in the global economy through developing aworkforce equipped with the necessary academic and technicalskills.
The Pasco Hernando Consortium, one of 23 Tech Prep consortia inFlorida, has received a three-year, $750,000 grant to plan andimplement Tech Prep. Beginning in fall, 1993, Tech Prep will bephased in at the high schools in Pasco and Hernando Counties. Fullimplementation is set for 1994-95 when programs of study leading toan associate degree from P-HCC will be offered in Agribusiness,Business, Nursing and Allied Health, and Industrial Technology.
Tech Prep is a college parallel curriculum with an academic core aswell as a technical core that will enable students to graduate fromhigh school prepared for postsecondary education and the workforce--the mission statement of Florida's Blueprint for Career Prepara-tion, the second goal of Florida's Blueprint 2000, and one of the
goals of America 2000. Tech Prep links the last two years of highschool with an associate degree from a community college, which can
lead to a baccalaureate degree from a university.
Tech Prep also fosters greater involvement by business and industry
in education. The Pasco-Hernando Consortium has a Business andIndustry Council with over 100 members developing projects such asEducators in the Workplace, Mentorships, and Scholarships.
Since 1986, Tech Prep consortia in other states have experiencedseveral positive outcomes: in one instance, average SAT scoresincreased 57 points, the dropout rate decreased 61%, and retention
in community college classes went up 78%. Students had less need
for remedial courses at the community college. They earnedtechnical certificates and associate degrees more quickly; theyalso earned more college credits in high school through accelerated
programs.
If you would like more information about Tech Prep, call PeggyGreen at the Pasco County School Board (813/929-2214), Sharon Bray
at the Hernando County School Board (904-796-6772), or Carmine Bell
