English term or phrase: compact
Document portant sur l'éducation et le marché de l'emploi : on parle de "compacts" tout court, mais j'estime qu'on fait référence aux termes suivants : education compacts, business-education compacts, etc.

Exemple : tech prep education, career academies, cooperative education, school-based
enterprises, business-education compacts....

Le terme "compact" à lui seul se traduirait comment?
Merci pour vos suggestions.

convention
Explanation:
d'après le Harrap's Unabridged, une des signification de "compact", noun:
compact: formal (agreement) = convention, contrat; (informal) accord, entente.

Je crois que ces "compacts" sont des conventions dans ce genre:
"Albuquerque Business Education Compact (ABEC) is a **formal partnership among business, public education and local government**, whose goal is a world-class education system. ABEC's goals include: communication and collaboration among partners, supporting use of quality principles, encouraging early literacy, administration of Philip's Semiconductor's contribution for at-risk youth, and support the Job Mentor Program." http://mesa.cabq.gov/87256dd400787f4d/indexfaq/02df3a5d96544...

bref, des conventions entre - par exemple - un pan du secteur privé et une institution publique chargée de définir les canons et les curricula de formation.
