Dear Name:
This message is a follow-up to our conversation this [morning]. As mentioned, I would like to have two [teachers/educators/faculty] from [name of institution] visit your business on [date] from [time] to [time]. As we discussed, these [teachers/educators/faculty] would conduct their first interview (20-30 minutes) with an individual in human resources or management using Form 1. This will give them an overview of the business and the qualities of people you employ. I hope that this can be followed with a “behind the scenes” tour (20-30 minutes) of your facility. The [teachers/educators/faculty] will conclude their visit by interviewing a front line employee, who will give them another view of your operation. The [teachers/ educators/faculty] will use Form 2 for this second interview which will take 40-60 minutes. I have attached copies of both forms so that you and your colleagues are comfortable and will have an idea of how the interviews will proceed. I do ask that you not prepare rehearsed or written answers. Once you have reviewed the forms, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you again for your willingness to provide an opportunity for these [teachers/educators/faculty] to see how essential skills are applied in your workplace. I know that an experience such as this goes a long way in helping them to connect what they teach in their classroom with the use of that content in a workplace setting.

Best regards,

[Your name]
[Your institution]
