With an increasing focus on Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, industry collaborations are vital opportunities that offer insight into the training students need to be better prepared for their academic coursework and future career paths. To further expand students’ opportunities, CEV Multimedia is partnering with Elanco to offer the Elanco Fundamentals of Animal Science Certification. Elanco becomes the latest industry leader to join CEV Multimedia’s roster of distinguished partners offering certifications that support CTE programs.
