BUSINESS EDUCATION COORDINATING COUNCIL

PartnerShift Network (PSN) has a long history of community service, dating back to 1997. Formerly known as the Saginaw Business and Education Partnership (2010-2019) and Business Education Coordinating Council (1997-2010), PSN has been delivering talent development services to the community and employment retention solutions to employers. During PSN’s 27 years of service, the organization has achieved numerous accomplishments, including completing the Community Ventures Program in Saginaw County, which increased retention levels of chronically unemployed individuals in partner businesses by 77.6% with support from Success Coaches. This long history of service is a testament to PSN's commitment to the community and its ability to deliver results. When Community Ventures dissolved, Michigan Works Agency (MWA) housed the program under a different name, Business Resource Network (BRN). PSN worked alongside MWA, delivering resources to participants facing employment barriers. MWA has since closed its program, and now PSN stands alone.
