Mission Statement: The Berkshire Compact for Education is a group of regional civic, education, and
business leaders who seek to ensure the well-being of each individual and the strength
of our economy and community by raising the educational access, aspirations, and attainment
of all Berkshire County residents.
The Compact's work focuses on:
- Raising aspirations among Berkshire County residents to view a minimum of 16 years
of education or training as the norm.
- Convening county stakeholders to ensure that Berkshire residents have adequate access
to education.
- Encouraging area residents to obtain the skills, technologies and tools they need
to enjoy the opportunities presented by the evolving local economy.
