Background:

In 1971, a foundation was formed to assist in providing a unique comprehensive educational program to develop needed industry skills for high school students. The original foundation has changed over time to meet the needs of students and local businesses. In 1991, the name was amended to the Foundation for Applied Technical Education, Inc. (FATE). FATE is currently involved with the Spring Village Residential Construction Site, Student Auto Sales (SAS) operating at high schools offering auto technology programs, Springfield Mall Classroom-on-the Mall (COM) Santa’s Little Helpers, and the Digital Imaging Graphics Studio (DIGS) operating at Fairfax Academy in conjunction with the graphic imaging and design and digital photo programs. All of these programs operate student-based enterprises which provide goods or services to the community. Funds generated by the enterprises are used by FATE to improve existing projects and explore new projects.
