Employers across the state were recognized recently by New Jersey’s county vocational-technical schools for making valuable contributions to career and technical education. Each school district chose a Business Partner of the Year, an annual award that highlights a professional, company or organization helping to develop the future workforce.
County vocational-technical schools rely on these partnerships to keep programs aligned with industry needs and to provide students with real-world learning experiences.
This year’s honorees represent a range of industries, reflective of the depth and breadth of career-focused programs offered in New Jersey’s vocational-technical high schools.
