The Goose Creek CISD (GCCISD) Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department proudly names Fueling Brains its October CTE Partner of the Month. This recognition highlights the company’s deep commitment to giving students diverse, hands-on experience across numerous CTE programs and guiding the future direction of CTE within the district.

Fueling Brains is a curriculum company that uses a holistic approach to advanced brain development, challenging traditional education with unique, research-backed care. Importantly, its work with GCCISD goes well beyond standard academics, providing students valuable internships in fields of construction, education and business.

Fueling Brains is a vital partner for several key GCCISD programs, ensuring students learn crucial job-ready skills. Students in GCCISD’s Construction programs take on practicum internships focused on CNC machines and up to date technologies used in the industry. Students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom in a hands-on real-world setting.

Interns from the Education and Training Program gain experience building curriculum-based lessons and projects for the company’s right/left brain classrooms. Further, students in the Global Business Academy receive practicum internships on an international stage, letting them examine the operations of global commerce and work with staff members worldwide. Every student participates in a capstone project that is presented at the end of the year to showcase the work they have done and the skills they have learned through their internship experience.

In addition to these opportunities, the company extends its influence by serving on GCCISD CTE Advisory Boards. By sharing their expertise in education, construction, and business, Fueling Brains helps guide the strategic planning and curriculum development for these programs, ensuring they remain relevant to industry needs.

Beyond strategic planning, Fueling Brains frequently hosts teachers for job shadow events, helping educators better prepare their students for jobs by gaining direct industry insight. The company also recently showed its dedication to teacher training by serving on an industry panel for GCCISD’s yearly back-to-school Professional Development Conference, where representatives offered valuable perspectives on various career paths.

GCCISD congratulates and thanks Fueling Brains for its continuous focus on student growth and its excellent work as the October CTE Partner of the Month. For more information on how to partner with GCCISD CTE visit our website, https://schools.gccisd.net/page/cte.SWC
