Rio
Hondo College's Tech Prep program assists in students' career
development. The program effectively prepares students for the
workforce through articulation, business partnerships, career
development, curriculum enhancement, and vocational programs.

term 'tech-prep program' means a program of study that:
|
 |
combines
at least two years of secondary education (as determined
under State law) and two years of post-secondary education
in a non-duplicative sequential course of study; |
| |
|
|
|
strengthens
the applied academic component of vocational and technical
education through the integration of academic, and vocational
and technical instruction; |
| |
|
|
|
provides
technical preparation in an area such as engineering technology,
applied science, a mechanical, industrial or practical
art or trade, agriculture, a health occupation, business,
or applied economics; |
| |
|
|
|
builds
student competence in mathematics, science, and communications
(including through applied academics) in a coherent sequence
of courses; and
