Virtual Enterprises International (VEI) is an in-school workplace/global business simulation in which students create and run their own businesses.
Virtual Enterprises International (VEI) is the real-world program you wish you had in high school. Students learn about business by doing business, creating and running their own businesses in a national network of 10,000 students across 500 U.S. secondary and post-secondary schools and an international network spanning 40 countries. These VEI "firms" replicate the functions and demands of a real business in structure and practice, and students learn about business, entrepreneurship, finance, economics, and technology through a task-based curriculum that meets national, state, and local standards.
Founded in 1996, VEI is based on the European apprenticeship model and continues to grow and gain new supporters from across industry and academic fields. It is cited by various superintendents and business leaders as a critical in-school program and the definitive education model for the 21st Century.
