Linking different adult education providers in a truly collaborative, seamless system is an ongoing challenge. How are the stakeholders identified? Who takes the first steps? What can be gained from partnerships? How do the partner groups maintain their independence and a certain level of control while also contributing to the good of the community? This section of the ToolBox answers these and other questions related to the specifics of building partnerships. To make it easier to learn more about building partnerships with businesses, community organizations, and government, the resources in this section are divided into how-to's, research, journals, and websites and then reorganized by community sectors under the "partners" subheading.
