Why Consider Tech Prep?

The world is changing.  Ohio labor projections indicate that the greatest job growth is in careers requiring at least a two-year associate degree. College Tech Prep can help prepare students for these high-skill, high-demand, technology-related careers by providing a seamless, non-duplicative, integrated pathway of education and experience. 

The Tech Prep pathway begins in high school, continues through two- and/or four-year colleges and leads to success through apprenticeship, certificate, associate degree and/or baccalaureate degree attainment.  Through collaborations with business, secondary, and postsecondary partners, College Tech Prep programs aim to help students obtain an education beyond high school in less time and at a lower cost.

Because College Tech Prep gives its students a solid foundation in both technical skills and college-prep academics, Tech Prep graduates are confident, focused, and well prepared to succeed in both college and the workforce.
