VEI replicates all the functions and demands of real business in both structure and practice.  With emphasis on college and career readiness, VEI offers students a competitive edge through project-based, collaborative learning and the development of twenty-first century skills in entrepreneurship, global awareness, problem solving, communication, financial literacy, and technology. This curriculum will be implemented as part of the E-Commerce Marketing program.

The VEI program will allow students to trade among student-run businesses around the world and take part in a structured mentoring by a real business partner who helps the practice firm to operate in a simulated environment.

The VEI program is provided at no cost through corporate sponsorship and will include online curriculum, teacher training, and access to simulated online financial services to provide an authentic learning experience. Students will be invited to participate in annual trade shows, business plan competitions, and the Global Business Challenge.
