Linda Cate

Linda Cate, director of the Bureau for Vocational Education at the Wisconsin Department of Instruction, talks about the importance of building relationships between business and education. Excerpted from the video series Schools That Work: The Research Advantage, videoconference #7, Preparing Students for Work in the 21st Century (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1992).

"Building the bridges with tech prep and school work transitions, our business partners and our organized labor groups are critical to building this relationship, because partnerships have to go much much deeper than just that, they have to be relationships."

This Critical Issue was researched and written by Kathleen Paris, director of the Leadership Institute for School-to-Work Transition, Center on Education and Work, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
