(Chandler, AZ) July 19, 2016
– Odysseyware, a leading provider of dynamic, individualized online courses for K-12 education, has announced a partnership with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) to expand its career and technical education offerings in the field of agriculture. 

Through this partnership, NAF’s more than 700 academies nationwide can now offer agriculture courses including Agricultural Mechanics I, Agricultural Mechanics II, Agricultural Biology, and Veterinary Sciences. These courses were specifically designed to meet NAF’s rigorous third-party review process and to prepare students for NAF’s industry-recognized credential, NAFTrack Certification.

The blended learning courses incorporate industry-validated, career-themed curricula based on current industry standards and practices, such as those recommended by the Future Farmers of America, literacy strategies, and STEM integration frameworks. A balance of online, blended learning, and real-world internships provide a dynamic and flexible instructional approach, helping students acquire valuable workplace skills and see their education as a step toward long-term career options. Upon successful completion of NAFTrack Certification, students are eligible for NAFTrack Certified hiring.
​
“We are delighted to expand students’ options for training and employment in the agricultural field,” said Beth Te Grotenhuis, the president of Odysseyware. “We are pleased to work with NAF and its many respected industry partners. These new blended learning courses reaffirm and strengthen our commitment to supporting career training and pathways to employment for all students.”
