MICE staff are veteran CTE instructors and program consultants. They have built these programs before, and they will help you design a pipeline starting at any grade level.
Most schools do not start from zero, and almost none start from the same place. A district with an established networking program needs something different from a middle school teacher who has been handed a cybersecurity elective and a room of Chromebooks. We start with what you already have.
What we help with
- Sequencing the pipeline — what to teach in which year, so students arrive at certification ready rather than rushed.
- Standards and competency alignment — mapping courses to the CTE program standards your state measures you against. We maintain alignments for IT, Media Design, and Business Administration in all 50 states, so this is a conversation rather than a project.
- Career Ready Practices — where the employability skills actually live in the sequence, instead of being bolted on at the end.
- Certification targets — choosing which certifications actually fit your students and your local employers.
- Equipment and lab setup — what you need, and what you can skip.
- Staffing — what the teacher needs to know, and how to get them there. See teacher training.
