The objective of iNoVATE, a consortium of five colleges, an ATE Regional Center and the Florida Department of Education, is to develop a statewide technical certificate in Network Virtualization. Along with a curriculum framework, this project delivers student labs, faculty training, and summer programs to high school students.The main goals of this project are: (1) Develop, implement and disseminate curriculum for a Networking Virtualization statewide technical certificate; (2) Establish networking virtualization labs where students can access equipment to practice virtualization skills in-person or remotely; (3) Develop and deliver a series of Network Virtualization Train-the-Trainer faculty workshops and instructional resources; and (4) Create and deliver hands-on summer programs to help at least 100 high school students strengthen their math and science skills and increase their understanding of virtualization technology.iNoVATE's Network Virtualization certificate framework and the training program is shared by all 28 institutions in the Florida College System. The project team provides resources for each of the technical certificate courses and creates distance learning options for rural technician education. In addition, a series of workshops related to Network Virtualization increase faculty understanding of this emerging technology. Project outcomes are disseminated via the Center for Convergence Technology and its national network of partner colleges. Industry partners, Cisco, VMware and Citrix, contribute hardware and software, and they assist with modifying their existing curricula materials so they can be used by iNoVATE.

iNoVATE 是一个由五所大学、ATE 区域中心和佛罗里达州教育部组成的联盟，其目标是开发全州范围的网络虚拟化技术证书。除课程框架外，该项目还为高中生提供学生实验室、教师培训和暑期项目。该项目的主要目标是： (1) 开发、实施和传播网络虚拟化全州技术证书课程； （2）建立网络虚拟化实验室，学生可以使用设备亲自或远程练习虚拟化技能； (3) 开发并提供一系列网络虚拟化培训师培训研讨会和教学资源； (4) 创建并提供暑期实践项目，帮助至少 100 名高中生加强数学和科学技能，并增加他们对虚拟化技术的理解。iNoVATE 的网络虚拟化证书框架和培训计划由佛罗里达大学系统的所有 28 所机构共享。项目团队为每门技术证书课程提供资源，并为农村技术人员教育创建远程学习选项。此外，一系列与网络虚拟化相关的研讨会增加了教师对这一新兴技术的理解。项目成果通过融合技术中心及其全国合作院校网络传播。思科、VMware 和 Citrix 等行业合作伙伴提供硬件和软件，并协助修改现有课程材料，以便 iNoVATE 使用。
