Jackson County Schools recently hosted a Simvana Demo Day at the Kevin Dukes Career and Innovation Academy (KDCIA), showcasing the impact of industry-education partnerships.
The event highlighted how collaborations like the one between Jackson County Schools and Simvana, a sister company to Torch Technologies headquartered in Huntsville, are equipping students with career skills. In 2024, Jackson County Schools partnered with Simvana to integrate its virtual reality (VR) nurse anesthetist training into KDCIA’s health sciences program.
“This partnership is enabling us to get technology into the classroom much faster than traditional methods,” said Jackson County Schools Superintendent Jason Davidson. “Health sciences is one of our largest programs and, through this collaboration, our students can explore anesthesia as a potential career while still in high school. This hands-on experience allows them to assess their skills and interest in the field — an opportunity that was previously unavailable.”
