Tech Prep is a National educational initiative that involves restructuring traditional curricula and introducing new teaching approaches at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Viewed as one of the most innovative and effective educational reform efforts in American history, Tech Prep connects learning to career pathways and provides students with the knowledge, skills and behaviors they need to compete successfully in the technologically advanced workplace of tomorrow.
Community colleges and high schools around the state have partnered to jointly design and implement coordinated sequences of instruction to link high school and post-secondary education. The state is divided into 12 consortia which are overseen by individual leadership teams and a local tech prep director.
Tech Prep provides each student with:
- A career pathway with an identified sequence of courses which lead to employment.
- Employability and technological skills.
- Advanced occupational training identified in partnership with business and industry.
- Articulated programs leading to certification and/or a degree.
- A curriculum integrating academic and occupational learning and application.
