Overview

EnterTech is an instructor-led, Web-based simulation of real-world, "on-the-job" experiences for entry-level workers. It is a training program that builds a foundation upon which additional, employer-specific skills and goals can be effectively taught. The program is successful in reducing or eliminating dependence on welfare aid.

The EnterTech program teaches transferable job skills, employability and life skills through simulated work experiences and problem-solving exercises within the setting of a virtual computer manufacturing company. Learners are placed as new hires in the virtual "EnterTech Company". The narrative story within the instruction creates interest and motivation.

EnterTech training provides a clear context for learners to practice and understand social norms of work such as teamwork and conflict resolution. It makes the concept of charting a career pathway believable. And it clarifies for the learner the values and uses of literacy, writing, mathematics, and communications skills.
