OUR VISION: Business must take the lead.
By recruiting volunteers from the business community, and supporting their long-term connections with kids, we create a link between our programs and the strategies of large and small corporations who are seeking strategies that lead to greater workplace diversity, greater learning and innovation, and more workers prepared for 21st century careers.
Business leaders are frustrated that the public school system is not preparing enough youth for the jobs and careers that they need filled. The Tutor/Mentor Connection feels this is an opportunity for some leaders to open another channel of learning and another path for reaching kids with career education.
That path is the non-school hours and the Internet.
