“If 80% of the workforce of tomorrow is going to need some kind of technical training, we need more students on a technical path of learning, that’s what career academies, like CEC, accomplish.…A career academy is a partnership between the high school as well as the technical college and the business community and all three players have to be at the table, focused on the need of that individual student. This is about bringing relevance to education.”

-Georgia Lieutenant Governor, Casey Cagle

“CEC is about using all the tools that a community can bring to the table; connecting secondary and post-secondary education with business, providing freedom from regulation, simulating the real business environment, so that young people can move farther and faster toward self-sufficiency in a very different and rapidly changing economy.”

-Mark Whitlock, CEO, Central Educational Center
