Small business partnerships with local schools and colleges can range in size. To provide financial support, companies can create scholarships dedicated to funding certain programs or allot a percent of preexisting charitable funds for that purpose. Employees can also organize fundraising events, particularly at the beginning of the school year.
More intensive volunteering efforts can be quite beneficial. Companies can allow employees to volunteer at local schools by presenting to students about their work or leveraging their expertise to train teachers in desirable skills via a paid leave structure. Businesses can consult with teachers to determine the usefulness of curricula and change them to fill any gaps. They can also develop relationships with students via internships and shadowing programs, offering use of company facilities for student projects, or displaying student work at their offices.
