VE is a national educational nonprofit program where students learn business by running a business in the classroom. Each year, over 30,000 students from urban and suburban schools across the country collaborate to develop, implement, and run “companies” that replicate the structures and functions of real businesses throughout the school year. Students become CEO, CFO, Vice Presidents, and Directors of their companies and undertake functional roles across all departments. Through our online banking system, these student-run companies engage in real-time transactions with other simulated businesses globally. Since 1996, VE has served over 250,000 high school and middle school students by partnering with schools, districts, and businesses across the United States to provide students with experiences that ready them for college and careers by arming them with essential technical and soft skills to be effective communicators, innovative problem solvers, and global citizens.

Globe’s history includes leading the development of process technology areas such as Plywood Manufacturing, Wood I-Joists and other Engineered Wood Products, Panel Finishing and Coating, and integrated Automated Storage & Retrieval.
