The Four County Area Vocational Cooperative (FCAVC) was formed by a joint service agreement between eleven school corporations in June 1969. The Cooperative provides vocational offerings, administers adult education, and coordinates communications with the Indiana Department of Education and other state agencies. The eleven school corporations are located in four northeast Indiana counties: Noble, DeKalb, LaGrange, and Steuben.

These school corporations are Central Noble Community Schools, DeKalb County Central United Schools, DeKalb County Eastern Community Schools, East Noble School Corporation, Fremont Community Schools, Hamilton Community Schools, Lakeland School Corporation, Metropolitan School District of Steuben County, Prairie Heights Community School Corporation, Westview School Corporation and Garrett-Keyser-Butler Community Schools whose district also serves as the Local Education Agency.

Since the inception of FCAVC in 1969, consortium members have had the vision to utilize the services of the Cooperative to create positive change in the delivery of vocational and adult education in a way that is unique in the state of Indiana. The FCAVC vocational and adult education programs use a competency-based curriculum approach and rely on student data and industry driven standards for continuous program improvement.
