 What is Bus to Business?
The Kentucky Chamber Foundation team has launched its fifth year of the Bus to Business® program. As the program evolves, opportunities are being expanded to fit any district's goals in engaging the business community.
Bus to Business is designed to be a starting point to develop school/business partnerships that will enhance the application of skills and knowledge into potential career paths. The program looks different for every school and can be customized based on interests, demographics and geography. It includes:
- Student tours of businesses;
- Business guest speakers at schools;
- Business engagement at educational events;
- Virtual career exploration programming; and
- An educator's guide to industry
Events will happen throughout the school year. If your school wants to learn more, please complete the Bus to Business® Interest Form. A Bus to Business® team member will reach out shortly.
For more information, contact Dorian Moe.
 Tour Opportunities at the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT)
If you are interested in tour opportunities at the Department of Criminal Justice Training facility, contact Kelly Foreman directly via email with a minimum of two weeks notice, or longer if possible.
Include in the email request the following information:
- How many guests will be in the tour and the age range. The maximum number of guests they can accommodate at one time is 60 (split
into three groups with three tour guides). They prefer to not have more than 40 guests (two groups), because that much disruption is hard on the training staff.
- Suggest three options for date availability. This will ensure DOCJT can have both tour guides and training staff available and increases the likelihood of a tour being approved.
