Innovative Curriculum for High School
EDUCATION
BusinessConnections is our
first program in the connectedEDU family. From the ground up, we developed a business curriculum (outlined below) and
a complimentary classroom training methodolgy. In addition, we recruited and developed partnerships with a number
of prominent global companies including Microsoft, Nike, intel, T-Mobile, Boeing, PACCAR, Weyerhaeuser, and Starbucks.
We believe we will ignite the curiosity of young people by adding another dimension to their academic life, the real world
dimension. Working directly with the business community adds this dimension.

a company and why Companies organize themselves for success Opportunities to achieve greatness and make a contribution across a multitude of
roles are abundant

Investment, Costs, Profits, Market Share, and Taking Care of the Customer are the pillars of business strategy

complete the program, students develop and present a business improvement plan to a company based on the classroom curriculum Students
make this presentation on the company’s premises, to their leadership team, interacting directly with some of their
most accomplished executives Students are expected to be prepared, poised,

to life the essence of our program
