The Business Advisory Council aims to foster cooperation among schools, businesses, and the communities they serve. By ensuring that educators align their work with the needs of the local labor market, the council enhances students' preparedness for successful careers.

The council’s key roles include:

1. Advising local school districts on changes in the economy and job market.

2. Advocating for essential employment skills critical to business and industry.

3. Supporting local districts by developing working relationships among businesses, labor organizations, and educators.

4. Providing hands-on career exposure through mentorships, internships, and job-shadowing experiences.
