SPIE: Stanislaus Partners In Education

Stanislaus Partners In Education is a Modesto, California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering career-connected learning for K-12 students and educators. Established in 1991, SPIE develops education and industry relationships that provide a diverse range of career-connected learning activities. We empower educators by extending professional development opportunities and delivering support for career education curriculum, while also connecting businesses with students eager for meaningful career pathways. Our mission is to create economic vitality by supporting efforts to prepare students for rewarding local jobs. Career Education Grants and Industry Tours are key components of our work.

SPIE’s commitment to organizing and arranging industry tours for educators and students has bridged the gap between our classrooms and the real world. By facilitating teacher externships and fostering connections with community partners, SPIE has brought a wealth of knowledge and resources to our district, enhancing the quality of education we provide.

Strategic Partnerships are at the heart of our approach, connecting educators, employers, and community stakeholders to create a robust talent pipeline for Stanislaus County. We strive to ensure students graduate with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the local workforce and contribute to a thriving community.
