St. Helena Parish, LA – In an exciting step forward for the district, the St. Helena Parish School District has announced a new partnership with iCEV, a leading provider of online curriculum solutions for Career and Technical Education (CTE). This innovative collaboration demonstrates the district's commitment to providing learners with opportunities that exceed expectations, ensuring that they are prepared for success in both higher education and the workforce.
What is iCEV?
iCEV is a comprehensive online platform that delivers engaging and industry-relevant curriculum for CTE programs. It offers resources in a wide range of fields, including agriculture, business, marketing, information technology, health science, and more. iCEV's unique approach combines interactive learning materials, professional certifications, and assessments designed in collaboration with industry experts.
One of the standout features of iCEV is its emphasis on industry-recognized certifications. Learners can earn credentials that validate their skills in specific career areas, giving them a competitive edge when entering the job market or applying for college programs.
Elevating Opportunities in St. Helena Parish
LaTia Brown, Director of Post-Secondary Opportunities, emphasized the importance of this partnership as a game-changer for the district. "In St. Helena Parish, we are committed to punching above our weight by providing our learners with access to resources and opportunities that might otherwise seem out of reach. This partnership with iCEV aligns perfectly with our vision to ensure every learner is prepared for a successful future."
With iCEV, St. Helena Parish learners will gain access to cutting-edge resources that align with real-world career demands. The program will allow learners to explore diverse career paths, earn industry-recognized certifications, engage in interstice learning, and bridge the gap between school and career.
Broadening Horizons for St. Helena
This partnership marks a critical milestone for the district, which continues to prioritize innovation and equity in education. Despite being a small district with limited resources, St. Helena Parish remains dedicated to expanding horizons for its learners. iCEV’s robust curriculum and certification options ensure that even in a rural setting, learners have access to opportunities comparable to those in larger, more urban districts.
Looking Ahead
The implementation of iCEV will begin in the upcoming semester, with CTE instructors receiving training to maximize the platform’s potential. Mrs. Brown and other district leaders are confident this collaboration will inspire kids to dream big and achieve more.
"By introducing our learners to iCEV, we are equipping them with the tools they need to excel in an ever-evolving job market," said Dr. Joseph, Superintendent for St. Helena. "This is just one of many steps we’re taking to ensure our learners are prepared to compete on a global scale."
St. Helena Parish School District is proving once again that vision, determination, and strategic partnerships can open doors to extraordinary opportunities, empowering every student to reach their full potential.
