PK Partnership is a public-private consortium of agencies and businesses with a deep interest in helping businesses succeed in the Phelps and
Kearney Counties area.

For the past several years, the NebraskaEDGE (Enhancing, Developing, and Growing Entrepreneurs) has been offering entrepreneurial classes in communities across the state of Nebraska creating stronger, more viable businesses. Wanting to offer the EDGE class locally, area leaders from Phelps and Kearney County partnered together in 2006 to form PK PARTNERSHIP and have now offered the NebraskaEDGE class to local businesses as PK EDGE. In 2007, the first year PK Edge was offered, 14 area businesses seeking assistance with their business and planning ideas participated in class.

Upon seeing that quality, high value, small business programs and training were desired in Phelps and Kearney County, PK PARTNERSHIP began to offer business transition workshops, youth entrepreneurial training and classes designed to help potential entrepreneurs decide upon which business they should start. The PK PARTNERSHIP’s resources are obtained from Phelps and Kearney County businesses and organizations and the organization is financially supported by Phelps and Kearney County businesses.
