We are asking for one time gifts or three-year commitments from our business & Industry partners to be our Academy Champions!
Financial sponsorships will remove financial barriers for students to participate in the academies. Dollars will be used for course tuition, travel expenses to and from the student’s real-world experience, background checks, academy uniforms, state certification exams, etc. Sponsorships may also be in-kind donations of our partners time dedicated for training purposes for individual academy students or by opening your doors for internships and job shadowing opportunities. In addition, our financial sponsors will be able to participate in a hiring fair each spring at no further cost.
Ultimately, our partnerships increase in the number of internships and job shadowing experiences available for our academy students, and connect students to jobs and careers right here in the Bemidji area. We couldn't do it without you, and would be happy to have you on our team!
