About the Program

APPS Learning Partnerships allows volunteers to support our students in preparation for changing future workplaces. Educational research continues to show that schools must be partnered with industry and community to better prepare all students for work and life. Partnerships between schools and industry is one of the best ways to make sure students understand and develop the skills they need for their future careers. Our program aims to connect students & educators with industry & community volunteers in a variety of capacities.

“We need to make sure every student can access meaningful experiences that provide connections with people outside of usual school and family networks. All students should be able to think about how the world of work aligns with their passions and interests at school.”
