Cultivating Excellence, Ingenuity and Creativity

The Business & Education Connection (BEC) connects high school students at Animas, Big Picture and Durango High Schools with work-based learning and internship opportunities in professional environments. For students, these internship experiences provide hands-on application and real-world connections to their education, bridging the gap from classroom to career and better equipping students to make well informed decisions about their steps after high school. For our professional business partners, the BEC offers a one-stop-shop to connect to internships and work-based learning opportunities with young adults, creating an avenue to build and grow our area’s future workforce as well as an opportunity to give back to the community through high value mentorship experiences!
