| CET is perhaps best known for pioneering the contextual
learning model - the integration of vocational training and basic
skills education.
CET structures its training to duplicate the "rhythms of industry."
From strict attendance rules, to showing a serious commitment to
learn and succeed, right down to punching time clocks, Monday through
Friday, training replicates a real job.
This not only motivates students to see a clear path to a job, it
also instills a sense of responsibility; trainees begin to see what
it means to be a reliable employee. This approach is especially
effective for those who have had a history of failure in conventional
schooling. Students immediately understand that CET is not just
a school, but a simulated workplace.
