Charles Law, Jr.

Charles Law, Jr., education and work consultant in Raleigh, North Carolina, talks about how business and education partnerships are beneficial for all involved. 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).

"I was in working with teachers and superintendents in South Carolina just the first part of this week. Private sector people there, and one of the partnerships that I saw that was tremendously exciting was a persons from the private structure who are restructuring their industries and taking what they're learning and in turn helping teachers and administrators learn how to restructure education, and so it's a match up not just for kids, but for schools, for institutions, for all levels."

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.
