Business Education Partnership (BEP) Bruce Taher (chair) Taher, Inc. 952.945.0505 b.taher@taher.com

TwinWest’s business education partnership (BEP) initiative represents a long-standing effort to align today’s education programs with tomorrow’s workforce needs. From workplace tours and classroom speakers to TwinWest’s School Leader for a Day program and Ethics in the Workplace workshops for high school students, TwinWest businesses provide our six school district partners with a wealth of resources to enhance student programs. TwinWest members who participate in these programs come away with new insights and a new appreciation of educators’ challenges and successes, and of students’ needs. Sponsoring a business education partnership program is also an excellent way to establish your company’s support of local students as they work to become tomorrow’s business leaders.

Meeting dates and times for the BEP initiative are driven by specific program involvement. For example, TwinWest members who sign up to participate in the Principal for a Day program will be provided with meeting information as it is scheduled.
