Business demands ingenuity and resolute effort to provoke and sustain progress while having tremendous potential for solving the many challenges of today's society. These challenges simultaneously preserve the integrity of community.

Currently, a growing number of more sophisticated partnerships have moved from simple community relations to collaborations that address improving, reforming, and even reinventing education at every level. Such partnerships are viewed as vital investments in a country's future that can energize and profit all partners.

Supported by analysis, preliminary findings identify a "chain of effects" from philanthropic citizenship activities to business outcomes. B.TEC's Corporate Partnership is a significant example of philanthropic entrepreneurism and is comprised of companies that recognize all the benefits of this initiative and its importance to Bermuda's placement in a global economy for years to come. Through this comprehensive collaboration, the business community has invested resources, time and talent in its role as partner, stakeholder, contributor and investor.

Inherent in the magnitude of the challenge ahead is the opportunity for the entire community to connect and collaborate on the goals of education today. We believe “Everyone is a stakeholder in education.” Without the involvement and support of our entire community, B.TEC will not sustain the requisite foundation upon which to build a future for the entire community. The open invitation to participate as a key stakeholder is extended to all Bermudians.
