About

What is AEEC®

Founded to strengthen America’s workforce and renew American pride.

The American Education Economic Commission® (AEEC®) is a true national public-private partnership. Led by the private sector and driven by the market, the AEEC® creates a powerful partnership between education, state leaders and industry. The AEEC® understands that a strong, healthy and skilled workforce is critical not only to our economic future, but to the safety and security of our nation.

Our mission is to revolutionize education and workforce development across the country. Through this, we are rewriting the narrative and demonstrating the incredible value of Career Technical Education (CTE). Introducing students to rewarding career opportunities and reviving our nation’s entrepreneurial spirit is at the heart of our efforts.

By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, we inspire and introduce today’s students to the careers and industries of tomorrow through an immersive Deep Dive Career Exploration Experience®. The AEEC® is the rising force in public-private partnerships, where the possibilities are limitless.
