What are some practices designee schools can consider in order to strengthen industry/community partnerships?

School and Industry partnerships are most effective when they adhere to these best practices:

• An MOU to formally establish the partnership 
• Communications routines, including regular check-ins among educators, work-based mentors, and students, home-school communications, and end-of-experience assessments/evaluations
• Supportive resources and advisement to help all students to engage successfully in work-based learning experiences
• Clear role definition and mentor expectations established upfront.
