Give Your Students Real-World Experiences
Many schools have trouble helping their students land internships–even unpaid ones. Our work-based learning model allows students to experience the real world while in class and under the supervision of their CTE teacher. This model allows students to apply what they are learning in class in real-time. The project for the client is made real through a first-person simulation. All the academic, technical, and soft skills your students are learning are made contextual.
Our practicum model is already supporting students across Pennsylvania who are getting experience while still in school. We do this through our curricula that feature interviews with industry professionals. For example, Cathy Costello’s students at Phoenixville High School are working through our Web and Computer Animation curriculum. The industry professionals in the course provide credibility about what the students are learning, and Ms. Costello's students are taking advantage of the opportunity to "Learn and Earn" their way to multiple micro-credentials and a full industry-based certification delivered by a professional association.
"The resources are all there to be able to lead the class. Seeing my students own the knowledge and then help each other is the way the real world works. I just love it. It’s always so much fun for me to give one assignment and see the diversity of the student work. I was able to project everyone’s animation work on the screen. And that was the thing that students looked forward to the most. They loved to show off what they had done, but also see what others had done. And we had some really fun feedback days where they were playing off of each other’s ideas and showing their creativity and sense of humor. And that was really the most fun part of the course for me as well as for them. " Cathy Costello Phoenixville HS.
The global economy has changed drastically in just the last few years, and our work-based learning model prepares your students to succeed in the professional world.

Testimonials
My parents are really impressed that I am earning certifications while in high school, because I guess I hadn't properly explained to them that I was getting certifications until a couple months ago. I just kind of walked in the house with the certification. And my mom was like, "Where did you get this from?" And I said, "Oh, it's from my web design class that I've been taking for a couple months now." And I think she's just really proud of it because I guess she didn't know that my school offered something like that. As far as I know, we don’t have other certifications offered at the school.
Nick - Student
Massac County High School
One of the big initiatives in Pennsylvania is getting students “future-ready.” This is the idea that all students should leave high school with 21st-century skills. And there’s a sense that it should be not just rigorous, but also meaningful. The industry certifications have been a really big part of that. They provide a real legitimacy to the course, both from the perspective of school administration and from the perspective of the students themselves. It really proves to the students that they did something. They can get an “A” in a lot of courses, but to get an industry-recognized certification gives them legitimacy in the world at large. It’s something they can put on their college applications and job resumes.

Phoenixville High School
I had been using a very well-known program last year. In comparison, CTeLearning is more user-friendly. It is a great program with a great staff that will go above and beyond to make you and your students successful. The step-by-step videos make it easy for the students to do their assignments on day one.
I am excited not only for the kids but for their parents as well. They are utilizing this course not only to graduate but to put them in a better position after high school.
