The Center for Business Champions (CBC) at Childhood Education International is excited to announce an upcoming training series designed to give child development leaders and others the foundational skills and knowledge they need to create partnerships with business leaders.
Why Business-Child Development Partnerships Matter
The business community plays a pivotal role in building a more sustainable world and can be an invaluable partner in ensuring that working parents have the support they need, and children have a good foundation for success and wellbeing in school, work, and life. Collaboration between the child development and business sectors can build brighter futures for all children worldwide.
About the Training Institute
The Building Business Champions Training Institute will use experience-based guidance, examples, and strategies to train leaders in the child development sector and others to build other own country-based networks of business champions for child development.
Topics will include:
- The transformative potential of partnerships: Explore how strategic collaborations can drive meaningful change in both business and child development sectors.
- Bridging Professional Cultures: Learn techniques to harmonize the differing cultures of business and child development professionals for effective collaboration.
- Building and Sustaining Partnerships: Acquire practical skills and strategies for creating and sustaining partnerships.
- Overcoming Common Challenges: Identify and address typical obstacles in creating and sustaining business-child development partnerships.
Comprehensive Curriculum
The comprehensive curriculum will draw on the CBC staff’s decades of experience in building effective and lasting business-child development partnerships in multiple countries.
By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to design and develop a partnership tailored to their country’s or city’s specific context and goals. Participants will also form valuable connections and receive follow-up support for their initiatives.
