A corporate turnaround specialist, Emmanuel Gonsalves has more than 25 years of experience helping institutions of higher education improve their image and boost student performance. Emmanuel Gonsalves has been particularly successful in promoting public-private partnerships to help maintain school facilities and programs.
In the last few years, organizations from the private sector have become increasingly involved in improving educational programs and institutions across the United States. This is especially true in the area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education, which can be greatly enhanced by mentoring services and somewhat costly technological tools.
Nonprofit organizations like Change the Equation are currently working to build business/education partnerships that will help improve the quality of STEM programs and prepare students for future careers in a variety of industries. Many groups, including the MacArthur Foundation and the Digital Youth Network, are also helping create community learning spaces to promote skills such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
