Teachers provide feedback from Corporate Challenge and Business Bootcamp experience at the
culmination of the event and in email communications following.
Internally feedback sessions are included as part of meetings for members to submit comments

Employers/agencies participating in the job fair are asked to fill out a survey afterwards. This information
reviewed to drive future planning.
Educators participating in the Educator Business Bootcamp complete a survey to provide the Business

The BAC also records notes from each meeting and sends back in a feedback loop to members to provide
transparency, accountability, and feedback.
7. What barriers has your business advisory council encountered in implementing these quality practices?
Finding time to meet and implement new programming in a way that accommodates everyone’s schedules and
already full workloads is a challenge. Also, the group would always benefit from having more time together, yet
competing priorities of professional work unrelated to the business advisory council are barriers.
Some other barriers include:
staff turnover - when new individuals step into positions they may lack the background knowledge and historical
knowledge of programming, goals, and objectives
immediate concerns taking precedence over long-term planning
limited budget - this restricts the council’s ability to function most effectively and serving the maximum capacity of
students/schools
a. How has it overcome these barriers or what needs to occur to overcome these barriers?
To address these barriers the business advisory council has increased from 4 meetings a year to 5 as well as
developed committees within the council to work on plan goals, projects, initiatives outside of regular meetings.
In addition, the council has developed clearer objectives, stronger plans, and more concrete goals.
The establishment of subcommittees also helps to see projects through to their finality and empower the skills and
expertise of members.
