Tech Prep….pathways to the future
Tech Prep links academic skills with career
preparation. Students train for successful careers, which meet the
needs of businesses and industry in technically skilled occupations.
Tech Prep classes lead to an associate degree, two-year certificate,
apprenticeship training or four-year college degree.
Tech Prep classes are not just book work, theory and
lecture. Applied learning is what Tech Prep is all about-it’s about
doing! A Tech Prep education is based on the student’s interests and
takes advantage of the way he or she learns best. In Tech Prep, the
skills learned are developed in the work world and based upon actual
skills and knowledge that the student will need to know and do on a
job. Duplication of courses is eliminated as students move along a
seamless career pathway from high school to college. In Solano County,
