The School Business Community Partnership Programme

“Partnership Brokers will create and improve partnerships between community, business and industry, and schools to extend learning beyond the classroom, increase student engagement, life attainment and improve educational outcomes.” - DEEWR (2009)

Partnership brokers will facilitate sustainable and strategic partnerships between four key stakeholders: education institutions, community organisations, parents, and business and industry. The School Business Community Partnership Brokers aim is to create a whole community approach that supports young people to remain engaged, or reengage, in education or training.

The Four Key Stakeholder Groups

Education: Education providers include primary and secondary schools, TAFE’s, Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and alternative education program providers.
Community: Community groups include, but are not limited to, privately run organisations providing services to the community, government funded service providers, sporting or social groups, charities and volunteer organisations and local government.
Parent and Family Groups: Parent and family groups working at a local level.
Business and Industry: Business and industry at a local, regional and, where appropriate, national level.
