PREVENTucation

Prevention. Education. PREVENTucation.

PREVENTucation blends traditional education (rigorous, measurable learning objectives) with  (interactive learning using gaming techniques), and allows learners to practice what they learn in a safe environment before their mastery is tested in an assessment-based examination.

PBJ Learning uses PREVENTucation to end modern slavery through effective, interactive, fact-based, victim-centric education in a browser.
