Tech Prep
What is Tech Prep? Tech Prep is a broad based reform founded in the early 1990’s. The increasing use of technology in today's workplace requires the application of both academic and technical skills. Tech Prep answers that call with a purpose to prepare ANY student to enter and succeed in a chosen career through applied academics and workbased learning. Becoming involved in a Tech Prep program can help a student succeed with life goals and career goals by combining "head skills" (applied academics) with "hand skills" (work-based learning) in their high school learning experience! Tech Prep partners with independent school districts, colleges and universities, business and industry, and community entities to provide college prep technical programs, career development, and work-based learning experiences. Tech Prep keeps students engaged in high school and often continuing into post-secondary education with the direction and motivation needed to succeed. Tech Prep provides students with choices through individualized programs that provide a meaningful, applicable, educational experience.
