Making sure that kids are well trained
and ready and able to enter the workforce is a prime reason that
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce partnered with the School District
to initiate the School Business Partnerships program in 1991; today
as we celebrate 14 years of success, 400 partnerships are enrolled
in the program – that’s tremendous growth seeing how
only 28 partnerships existed that inaugural year!
Today kids from all grade levels across Anchorage have the opportunity
to experience work in a variety of businesses and organizations – from
service organizations like American Cancer Society to local, state
and federal agencies like Alaska National Guard.
As a City with eyes focused on the future, School Business Partnerships
is building bridges and creating links between kids and business. |

 The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce is
proud of its affiliation with School Business Partnerships, a program
that reaches 49,000 students and more than 1,000 business people.
Business is at the core of what makes the world go round – giving
kids a sense of “can-do” spirit, opening their minds to
the opportunities that exist is critical to our future direction.
We’re motivated by the success of the program and by the commitment
of both kids in the community and of the business people who contribute
to its success.
With School Business Partnerships, we’re marking the course
and headed in the right direction for our future. Thank you for participating
in this strong community program. |
