Collaborative Convening 2018 – Business Engagement Group

Collaborative Convening 2018

Business Engagement Group

Creates awareness among the business community about gaps and needs with the intent to create opportunities for action and involvement to support all children in the community.

Sue Baugh (Eastside Pathways Board Chair) and Bethany Spinler (Bellevue Big Picture School)

We are working on adaptive problems, and that sometimes is the antithesis of the work.  In other words, if we knew how to get all kids to graduate from high school, we’d be doing it.  These population-level outcomes are difficult, and they take time.  Time is a significant commodity and sometimes difficult to garner.

 

The one thing we’ve learned for sure is that the business stakeholders want to help, but they want to know what they can specifically provide. Our campaign is looking at how do we work together differently so that youth at the Big Picture School get internships sooner in the semester and, secondly, how employers can build internships into part of their strategy, so it’s not built on the individuals in certain roles.

Audience Questions

How much has the Businesses Engagement Group liaised with the Career Pathways collaborative? It seems like there are many logical connections.

I have spoken with Stephanie about potential collaboration. BEG focused on internships and broader connections to businesses in Bellevue. CP focused on mentorships. I definitely think these two collaboratives could work well together.

How has the Bellevue and Redmond Business Chamber been involved with this effort?  Does this collaborative connect with the career pathways?

The President of the Bellevue Downtown Association is a part of the BEG, and we are expecting more interaction going forward.

It is important to note that an intern is not free labor.   It takes time and resources to properly support an intern.  

Agree.

Can we broaden the internships beyond Big Picture School?

The ultimate goal is to expand internships beyond BPS.
