The Simulated Workplace initiative has not only enhanced instructional delivery of career education but has also created a more engaged career and technical student. The simulated workplace environment permits students the opportunity to take ownership of their individual performance as it impacts the overall success of their education, while thriving in an authentic workplace culture. Simulated Workplace also encourages local business and industry experts to join onsite review teams to assist schools in meeting their workforce needs and expectations.

Vision: Transform the culture of Career Technical Education by creating high-quality business and industry learning environments.

Mission: Our mission is to provide students with an engaging and relevant curriculum with opportunities to earn industrial state and national certifications.

Goal: All Career Technical Education completers are college and career-ready.
