Ministry of Education, industry and community partnership strategy.

Abstract

An education, industry and community partnership can provide an effective intervention for secondary school age students who are alienated from the education system and are exhibiting challenging, problematic behaviours. This article outlines a Ministry of Education/SpecialEducation (MOE/SE), industry and community partnership that addresses the concerns of having students outside the school community during the school day. Case studies provide two examples of collaborative partnership in action.
