The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a public-private organization formed to define and incorporate into learning the skills that are necessary for every student's success in the 21st Century. The Partnership currently has thirty five members. The eight founding members include AOL-Time Warner; Apple; Cable in the Classroom; Cisco; Dell; the National Education Association (NEA); Microsoft and SAP. The Partnership's work was also supported in part by the U.S. Department of Education.
JES & Co., through its efforts in co-founding The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, brought together a vast array of participants from all facets of the educational enterprise. Companies such as AOL, Microsoft, SAP, Dell, Apple and Cisco put aside their business self interest to work with COSN, NEA, USDOEd, SREB, SETDA, ISTE, AASL and others members of the public sector to develop a dialogue that would become the vision of what a 21st century education and workforce needs to be.
