BestPrep is looking for 30-40 business professionals in the Twin Cities metro area to host educators for a 3-hour job shadow experience at your workplace as part of BestPrep's Technology Integration Workshop (TIW). TIW is a four-day professional development opportunity for educators to enhance their curriculum with 21st-century technology skills and resources.

Business Partners can have a big impact, without needing to dedicate hours of time. The time commitment includes meeting your educator for a one-hour luncheon on Monday, July 30 at St. Thomas University Business School in downtown Minneapolis, and hosting your educator for the job shadow from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31.

As a volunteer Business Partner, you'll help an educator gain insight into the skills students will need to be successful in your industry. You'll also help familiarize educators with today’s business environment so they can better align their curriculum to your and your business’ needs. You do not have to have a technology-specific role to participate; any business professional willing to share insight into your industry, business environment and career path makes a great Business Partner.

The job shadow can include a tour of your workplace, inviting your educator to a team meeting, and discussion of the skills you use on a daily basis, the various projects you work on, the type of technology you use, and the training you may receive on the job.

Registration to participate as a Business Partner can be completed through the link included below. The registration deadline is July 15, however to ensure a great volunteer experience, we are asking anyone interested to register by July 1.
