Ontario Business Education Partnership

OBEP strives to ignite ideas and provide positive changes for today's youth through supporting our 26 community based not for profit organizations across Ontario committed to advancing business-education co-operation in support of workforce and economic development.  OBEP supports the local organizations who promote and facilitate alliances between education, business, community organizations and government.  The goal of such alliances is to enhance experiential learning opportunity for the students of Ontario.  

 

 

Passport to Prosperity

For more than a decade, OBEP has partnered with the Passport to Prosperity program to support educators and employers in developing experiential learning opportunities for high school students as a cost-effective solution to recruiting, training and retaining young workers.

 Passport to Prosperity Co-ordinators invite you to get involved!

 

 Employer Registry

The Employer Registry (www.employerregistry.ca) is Ontario's free online community connecting employers and tomorrow's workforce.  This site acts as a single point of contact for employers looking to get involved with short, medium and long-term educational programs, ranging from one-hour career talks to full semester cooperative education. 

Your local Passport to Prosperity Co-ordinator will personally assist you in identifying experiential learning opportunities to meet the unique requirements of your business.
