Through APEX we have been able to pilot projects that have allowed us to explore what solutions are possible, technical feasibility, and potential cost of a solution. I particularly enjoy working with the advisory team to bring a challenging and rewarding curriculum to the classroom. It never fails to amaze me what high school students are capable of, and I like to push their bounds to see what awesome things they can come up with!

It is exciting when our community partnerships with many organizations that can also turn into opportunities for APEX students to volunteer with the community and get real world experience as health care ambassadors.
I started working with APEX as a business owner with the hopes to be able to help and mentor the associates of APEX. In reality what has happened is the value that APEX has brought to our company has been amazing. We have had two years of deliverables that have brought revenue in our door based solely on the projects completed by the two APEX teams we were working with.
A key benefit of the business partner relationship is a collaborative opportunity for students and professions to directly impact the preparation and delivery of education in a non-traditional format. I can easily say that the positives and opportunities certainly outweighed any trepidation we had. Without a doubt, this program offers an ability for a community to build an understanding of each other’s needs.
We mentor them, but they mentor us.
