DELAWARE EDUCATION

PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP

Shared priorities. Local action. Measurable results.

DEEPP brings Delaware business and education leaders together to identify shared priorities, respond to local needs, and build partnerships that contribute to stronger schools and better outcomes for students.

Capitalizing on Delaware’s Potential

What could happen if Delaware’s business and education communities were better connected?

Businesses have people, expertise, relationships, resources, and opportunities that can make a difference for students. Schools and districts know where those contributions could be most useful. DEEPP brings the two together.

The idea is simple: start with shared priorities, identify real local needs, connect the right people and resources, and measure what happens.

From supporting early literacy and expanding career experiences to strengthening the pipeline of school board leaders, there are many ways to contribute — and no single way a business has to participate.

Voices for Delaware’s Future

Why business and education leaders are coming together

Delaware’s schools, communities, and economy are connected. DEEPP brings together leaders who believe stronger relationships between education and business can create more opportunities for students and contribute to Delaware’s future.

“Delaware businesses are facing a workforce reality we can’t ignore. We need homegrown talent, and we need our young people to be as prepared as possible to succeed. DEEPP gives business and education a practical path to work together toward that goal”

Mike Quaranta, President Delaware State Chamber of Commerce
