Workforce Education Project

The Edenton Chowan Partnership Education Project acknowledges that a high quality educational system, pre-kindergarten to post-secondary, is vital in building and sustaining a strong community and local economy. In order to provide such a system, which meets the needs of every child, leaders at all levels of the education, nonprofit, community, civic, and philanthropic sectors must work together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges. As such, the Partnership’s Education Project serves as a catalyst for working together, across sectors and along the educational continuum, to produce better educational results in Chowan County.

Workforce Education Overview

GOALS

The Edenton-Chowan Partnership Education Project has four main goals:

Every child comes to school prepared for kindergarten.
Every child succeeds academically in school.
Every child graduates from high school prepared for post-secondary school, vocational school and/or to enter the workforce.
Every child has the opportunity to attend a high quality post-secondary school.

PLAN

To execute this mission the Education Project involves all organizations engaged in education, training and leadership development as well as a cross section of private citizens, industry leaders, and government officials. Representatives include:

The current focus is to provide more community interaction, to increase collaboration between the agencies and to foster a climate where new ideas can be pursued. An example of the later is the current one-to-one computing device pilot at the high school.
