Tech
Prep is funded though the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical
Education Act, and is a significant innovation in the education
reform movement in the United States.
Tech
Prep education is an articulated, planned sequence of study
beginning in high school, and extending through at least two
years of postsecondary education or an apprenticeship program.
Programs can continue up to the Baccalaureate degree.
Emphasizing
contextual learning and career pathways, Tech Prep is an important
school-to-work transition strategy, helping all students make
the connection between school and employment.
