How we work
We are educators, technologists and curriculum specialists who have spent our careers in career and technical education. We build courses with schools, colleges and workforce programs, not just for them: every course starts from a program's own standards, certifications, labs and teachers.
Every lesson is reviewed by AI for technical accuracy and then checked by a human subject-matter expert before it reaches a student. Our AI tutor, Socrat Tutor Agent, is designed to ask rather than answer, and teachers always have the final word on grades.
We work with middle and high schools, community colleges, universities, workforce programs and publishers. If you'd like to talk with the team, get in touch.
Our work has been recognized by the EdTech Awards: a finalist for Best Content Provider Solution and Best Curriculum and Instruction Solution in 2025, Digital Courseware Solution in 2024 and 2022, and EdTech Trendsetter in 2021.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Core Learning Exchange is committed to a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace, with nondiscriminatory practices and equal advancement opportunities for every team member, whatever their background.
That commitment extends to our work: making sure every student has equitable access to high-quality CTE and a pathway to career success.
