Become a PLTW Partner

Connect with us today to learn how you can partner with PLTW to deliver college and career opportunities to students.

PLTW partners are as diverse as the students and schools we serve, including Fortune 500 corporations, local businesses, foundations, nonprofits, government agencies, and workforce and economic development groups across the country. Together, we create an ecosystem of support around students and teachers, engaging them in learning and equipping them with tools, resources, and experiences that connect the classroom to business and industry.

Our partners play an integral role in carrying out our mission. Thanks to strategic investments made by these partners, we offer a competitive grant program that allows schools to implement or expand existing PLTW programs at a faster rate. Our partners have also supported strategic initiatives, such as the translation of PLTW Launch and PLTW Gateway materials into Spanish, the expansion of PLTW Launch to provide full Next Generation Science Standards coverage, and development of PLTW’s distance learning support resources.

Partners may also choose to engage directly with schools in PLTW’s networks in a variety of ways that directly support students and teachers, such as internship programs, college credit, apprenticeships, teacher externships, and industry site visits.

I have visited many PLTW schools, specifically doing the engineering curriculum, and the excitement that I see not only by the students, but by the teachers, is amazing. When you ask a student what they are doing, they can articulate exactly what and why, which shows the power of the PLTW model.
