Partner and Alumni Engagement PoW Category involves whom?

• A. Customers and vendors.
• B. Students and teachers only.
• C. Alumni, parents, advisors, and community partners.
• D. Government agencies and regulators.

Answer: (C)

Partner and Alumni Engagement focuses on building relationships with the people who support student success beyond the classroom. The best answer includes alumni, parents, advisors, and community partners because these groups provide mentorship, guidance, and real-world opportunities that connect skills to careers. Alumni can share industry experience, offer mentorship, and create internship or job connections; parents and advisors help guide students through career planning and program involvement; community partners—like local employers and nonprofits—bring resources, speakers, internships, and collaborations that enhance the program. Choices that center only on students and teachers miss this broader network, and while customers/vendors or government agencies may interact with the program in other contexts, they aren’t the primary focus of this engagement category.
