Iowa Ideas 2020 replay: School-Business Partnerships

After getting real momentum behind building school-business partnerships, the COVID-19 pandemic brought traditional work and learning experiences to a halt last spring. How can the state regain the momentum behind the school-business partnerships that were blossoming across the state? How have groups pivoted or adjusted? We'll check in with some of the school-business partnerships we've introduced at Iowa Ideas through the years.
