The Community Education Business Partnership (CEBP) is a tremendous collaboration between area businesses and educators. CEBP was formed in response to the growing concern of the lack of workers entering technical industries and the national disconnect between the business and education sectors in preparing future workers. A group of Dymax Corporation employees developed and tested a pilot experiential education program designed to give students a better idea about the jobs and careers in the technology sector. Based on the success of this pilot program, the Community Education Business Partnership was formed.

Our mission is to create opportunities to connect students with local companies to provide hands-on experiential learning experiences and demonstrate potential career paths. The program seeks to positively impact the national shortfall of students choosing technical and manufacturing careers; educate students and community members about the products and services offered at companies throughout the region; demonstrate the wide variety of careers and jobs that contribute to the overall success of companies; and to provide positive public relations opportunities for participating companies.
