BEA guidance

Introducing the Business & Teacher Association

The BTA is the missing link between business and education: a structured association that complements PTAs and creates an ongoing relationship between schools and local employers.

How it works

Complementary model

The BTA complements, rather than replaces, parent and school groups.

Shared purpose

Businesses and educators work around clear local goals.

Ongoing engagement

Relationships extend beyond a single donation or event.

Build a structured local partnership

The BEA model brings together due diligence, matching, ongoing support and impact reporting. This helps both sectors understand expectations and maintain a useful, appropriate relationship.
