WHAT IS "IVE"?
"IVE" is the acronym for Integrated Vocational Education -- an education method for any learning environment--public, charter, home school, or private--which advocates the teaching of both Core Academics and Career / Vocational skills to the same students in the same classrooms at the same time. IVE students take their learning tasks "hands-on." They demonstrate their knowledge through its applications and validate it by putting it to work in real-world exercises.
Most important, IVE can reduce drop-out rates and graduate high school students ready to go on to college or join the global workforce at a career-prepared level.

   The futures of individuals, of societies, and of nations depend on how well their people are educated--how well they are prepared to function within their societies and communities and to deal with their individual lives. This is the entire purpose of, and justification for, the institution we know as Education.

   We, members of The IVE League, would like to invite you to investigate the concept of Integrated Vocational Education. Then, if you agree it could provide students with better environments in which to learn, join us in developing an education program focused on students instead of schools, on learning styles rather than teaching styles, and on all around preparedness for a working life as well as preparedness for advanced education.

   Picture an education system which graduates students with all the academic background to continue on to college, and all of the workplace and technical skills necessary to enter immediately into the global work force of the 21st century. Imagine students graduating from high school with a background view of more than 60 career paths, with hands on experience in over a dozen, and as much as 2,000 hours of actual paid work experience in a career path working environment the day they receive their diploma! If you can envision such a system, you can understand the concept and the value of Integrated Vocational Education.

Site Map & Links
to Program Activities

   This is just the beginning, unfortunately, of a complex site. For this we apologize. Because of the diversity of the activities in which The IVE League is involved, and the volume of information necessary to explain what we do and how we do it, the site is organized into seven broad topical areas of interest.

In one way or another, every education organization needs to reach out to the public for support.  This is especially true for us as program developers--and almost any other small or specialized non-profits who elect not to derive their primary funding from government sources.  Instead they rely on the generosity of program support memberships, individual private donors, and supporting affiliated business to provide for their financial needs.  Some of these-- internal associated programs and activities--are listed on the tabs to the left. You will find others featured on the IVE Supporters page which is still in the process of redesign.  In any case, we hope you will provide them with your support.
