__**Perkins**__ >> During the reVISION process, schools will form a **Career Education Leadership Team** to help lead the reVISION process. This team should consist of at least **TWO Career/Technical Education teachers, at least ONE guidance counselor, and at least ONE school administrator**. If a guidance counselor is not available, teams may substitute an additional Career/Technical Education teacher. The reVISION process involves participating in three face-to-face meetings facilitated by Nebraska Career Education staff. In addition, each school’s Career Education Leadership team will complete work in partnership with a community engagement group between each meeting. >>

 * The reVISION process provides Nebraska schools with the opportunity to analyze and transform their current career education systems in order to improve their ability to educate a qualified workforce that meets industry needs within an ever-changing economy. Working in collaboration with postsecondary education and regional workforce/economic development leaders, the reVISION process links career educators, school administrators, guidance counselors, and industry professionals. Under the leadership of the Educational Service Unit and the Nebraska Department of Education, the reVISION process is a strategic approach for schools to analyze their current career education system and make plans, as needed, for adjustments.
