Tech-Prep
Our mission is to provide an academically rigorous, career oriented 2 + 2 + 2 educational
program that allows students to make a seamless transition from secondary to
post-secondary education with a minimum of remediation and an industry certification in a
specific career area. We are currently grant funded but are working toward
institutionalization of activities and program pieces that increase student success including
dual enrollment courses, articulation agreements, and pre-placement test preparation.
