DeHavilland Associates supports great education by fostering great business/education partnerships, both through direct consulting services and by providing channels for practitioners to network and share knowledge.

While community/school partnerships have always played a part in public education, they have taken on a particular importance in recent years. School budgets are getting tighter, and it's getting harder to fully prepare students for the future. At the same time, the highly-skilled members of the Sputnik generation are moving ever closer toward retirement, and businesses in all sectors of the economy are realizing the importance of having an educated and prepared workforce capable of replacing them.

DeHavilland Associates began as a full-service consulting firm, and to this day continues to serve an array of clients building education outreach and workforce preparedness programs in the K-12 market. But recognizing the great need for information on building effective partnerships and strong education initiatives, the firm has begun developing a series of resources for practitioners in the field, including a free online clearinghouse, surveys and white papers, and an annual conference.

If you're interested in building community/school partnerships and creating effective, outcomes-driven outreach initiatives, DeHavilland Associates can help. We can help you find the resources and partners you need; we can offer you training, development, and networking opportunities; or we can work with you personally to build your initiatives.
