Complimentary Access to SkillsUSA Career Essentials
Complimentary Access to SkillsUSA Career Essentials
The current pandemic has forced local administrators and teachers to quickly move their courses to virtual/online environments. Thanks to the generosity of select partners, we are excited to be able to provide complimentary (free) access to the Career Essentials suite Experience bundles for a limited number of students.
These curriculum bundles are valued from $25 to $65 per access. For full details on this special offer, click here. If you have further questions, please contact: careeressentials@skillsusa.org.
To participate in a one-hour overview of the SkillsUSA Career Essentials suite resources, sign up using the online registration form.
If you would like to become a Career Essentials certified teacher, please register for this four-hour professional development opportunity here.
SkillsUSA Nationals have partnered with the CTE Coalition, which is made up of CTE partners and organizations to better serve you in these difficult times. Please go to www.ctecoalition.com to learn more. Additional partners will be joining us as we serve teachers. See official press release.
In response to the current medical concerns and restrictions affecting schools, training organizations and businesses, we would like to remind our NCCER network that virtual training is always an option. Instructor-led training may be conducted online through various platforms of your choice, such as Skype, Zoom and more. Please check with your organization to see which platform is approved and supported for use.
We know that current times are filled with challenges, and we have been working diligently to help make it easier. In addition to the online training options that Pearson has made available, we are pleased to offer remote proctoring and free of charge online testing for our craft module tests (knowledge only) from April 6 - May 15, 2020.
For all the details, including how to get started, eligibility requirements and more, visit here.

Very similar to the commercial MultiSim.
Within TinkerCAD there is a Circuits module. Students can set up protoboards demonstrating their ability to set up circuits. You can also set up classes.
Many simulations. The HTML versions will run on any computer.
Only demo version. I have asked them to open up the full version.
Electronics lectures
Electronics - quasi-interactive video lectures
Free license of Flowcode for the duration of the virus crisis. Flowcode is an incredible tool and has a ton of capability including coding for any microcontroller (Arduino, PIC, Raspberry Pi and so forth) and things like simulation for robotics and other automated systems.

Very good FREE ebook. Most of the chapters have online lab exercises that are done with simulation and they also have a set of actual equipment that is online. You can control these experiments remotely using the app. It’s all free and works from any mobile device. There are instructor resources as well so it’s a pretty robust solution.
Good, easy to use PLC simulator. YouTube tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX_A9Y8jb2k
