CEV Multimedia Announces Partnership with Bayer CropScience for Certification Program
LUBBOCK, Texas (PRWEB) April 23, 2015 -- CEV Multimedia, a leading producer of Career and Technical Education (CTE) curriculum resources, announces its partnership with Bayer CropScience to expand the industry-backed certification program available through iCEV, an online platform that produces and delivers comprehensive educational content. Bayer CropScience is the latest organization to join CEV Multimedia’s list of distinguished industry partners offering certifications supporting CTE initiatives and programs.
Delivered through iCEV and endorsed by Bayer CropScience, the Plant Science Certification addresses major topics in the plant science industry, including water resources and measurement, plant nutrition and evaluation, fertilizer and pesticide safety, pests and diseases, and scientific classification. Training for the Plant Science Certification is designed for students at the primary, secondary and post-secondary levels interested in natural sciences.
“There are very few opportunities for students today to achieve a plant science certification aligned with secondary education,” said Jeff Lansdell, president of CEV Multimedia. “Bayer CropScience is the perfect match for this certification as both companies look to enhance and expand education for future generations of plant scientists.”
Industry collaborations play an important role for all CTE programs by offering hands-on training as students complete their program of study and explore their individual interests. Through iCEV, students enhance their career training with certifications from industry partners by completing regular coursework through a series of pre-built online CTE lessons.
“Continuing to lead innovation in agriculture will require bright minds with expertise in all areas of plant sciences,” said Mike Gilbert head of breeding and trait development for Bayer CropScience. “This certification program will provide students with essential tools to equip them to be the next great leaders in plant science.”
In addition to the Plant Science Certification, CEV Multimedia offers programs to earn Professional Communications, Meat Evaluation, Principles of Floral Design and Principles of Livestock Selection & Evaluation Certifications. CEV Multimedia is currently developing industry-backed certifications to expand education and support student success across multiple areas of CTE.
