Vision

All Stockton and San Joaquin County students have access to educational programs that increase their post-graduation choices, preparing them for the workplace and continuous learning.

BEA’s Mission

The Alliance provides the means by which employers and educators work together to understand each other's needs and requirements with the goal of improving educational outcomes. It also promotes employer outreach activities and enhances ongoing and innovative work and school-based programs.

What We Do

Today, whether our young people go on to college or directly into the work environment, the required core skills are the same — academic achievement, soft skills, ability to learn and communicate, interpersonal and group skills, and problem-solving. Without these, our youth will not find successful careers and employers will not have the high quality personnel needed to compete in the global marketplace. Employers have a critical role to insure success. BEA is focused on providing:

  • All participating students with education and career possibilities
  • Businesses with workforce development opportunities
  • The community with economic advantages by creating a educated, skilled workforce
  • Teachers and counselors with workplace expectations

The BEA is involved with programs that support these criteria. The result is a motivated workforce to meet the competitive needs of the market today and in the future.
