About Us

Welcome to CREATE—where the classroom meets the workplace and the future begins today. At the Choccolocco Research, Education, and Technical Experience, we don’t just teach skills; we build careers. Here, you won’t find ordinary desks and markerboards. Instead, you’ll walk into workshops, production floors, and safety-marked lanes that replicate the real-world industries driving our economy forward.

At CREATE, students are more than learners—they simulate the role of actual employees. From the moment you clock in, you’ll work alongside supervisors (your instructors) who will mentor you, challenge you, and prepare you for the demands of today’s workforce. This isn’t about prepping for a test. It’s about preparing for life—with the kind of hands-on training, professionalism, and expertise that employers are looking for.

We offer diverse career pathways that open doors to high-demand fields such as Aviation, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Law Enforcement and Public Safety, Robotics, Modern Manufacturing, Engineering, and more. Each pathway is a gateway to a solid career, blending technical skills, problem-solving, and teamwork with industry-recognized credentials like MSSC Certified Production Technician, OSHA 10, and programming certifications. Whether you’re programming software, designing robots, investigating crime scenes, or planning sustainable engineering solutions, you’ll leave CREATE ready to take on any challenge.

Our Simulated Workplace model transforms learning into doing. You’ll operate in a professional environment, adhering to workplace standards, safety protocols, and project deadlines. Through real-world scenarios and industry partnerships, you’ll gain the confidence, skills, and certifications to transition seamlessly into your career or higher education.

CREATE is also proud to offer the IMPACT dual enrollment program through Gadsden State Community College, providing advanced training in mechatronics, HVAC, electrical technology, Industrial Automation Technology, and Mechanical Design Technology.

For those looking to join elite programs like FAME, or for students ready to enter the workforce straight out of high school, this is where you get a head start.

This isn’t just a place to learn—it’s a place to grow, to innovate, and to lead. At CREATE, we’re building the workforce of tomorrow, one shift at a time. Welcome to a new way of thinking, a new way of learning, and a new way of achieving. Welcome to CREATE—your future starts here.
