West Virginia
The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) contracts with NOCTI to provide credentialing tools and resources to support the accountability system for West Virginia’s Simulated Workplace program. NOCTI has subsequently become an integral part of the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBOE) Policies designed to ensure all state-approved CTE completers have an opportunity to demonstrate their skill attainment on an equal and consistent assessment across the state.
NOCTI’s trademark delivery and program management system and industry credentials serve as the foundation of the accountability system. Since program inception, WVDE has expanded NOCTI services to include customized assessment development, developing custom reporting tools, and programming custom systems to include an Online Testing System, Instructor Resource Center, with a goal of ensuring streamlined processes for stakeholders to ensure schools are maintaining high-quality standards.
A dedicated NOCTI project manager works with state and local leaders to provide personalized stakeholder support including resources, instruction, and technical support.
